Hi! Upgrading to ARM GCC 11.3 from 7.3 and noticed these linker warnings on bare metal embedded project. These linker warnings aren't on 7.3 or 11.2 ARM GCC versions. I'm having a tough time understanding why they are happening on ARM GCC 11.3 now.
Using the linker spec files:nosys.specsnano.specs

I am facing the same problem, is there any statement about why this warnings are present despite of setting
--specs=nano.specs --specs=nosys.specs ?
I can provide empty/dummy implementations of functions that warnings are about. But I am not sure if I am able to prevent runtime errors if these functions would be used somewhere. If this is official solution for that warnings there must be a compile time solution to forbid using this dummy implementations.
