Linking with newlib for NE10 library

I am using arm-none-eabi-* (7 2018-q2-update) to link with newlib-nano to use the NE10 library in a bare metal envirolment.

It looks like i am unable to be successful in compiling the code with newlib nano as i get many undefined references. I have messed up the makefile (which may look shabby) code from what it used to be for which i have been trying to link withour success. 

I do not know what am I missing. It looks like calls to : malloc memmove free should be included in newlib. I am also unable to link the math functions for which i try to include libm libgcc...

My link process just fails(fails when arm-none-eabi-ld is called!) a copy of the makefile is below

An extract of errors or output log while making :

and a lot more undefined references...

  • You probably  want to let gcc handle your linking:

    To achieve that you should repace

     $(ARMGNU)ld   -T src/linker32.ld  -Map output.map -o $(BUILD_DIR)/kernel7.elf  $(LDOPS)

    With:

     $(ARMGNU)gcc  $(COPS) -T src/linker32.ld  -o $(BUILD_DIR)/kernel7.elf  $(LDOPS)
