Good morning everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so please excuse any mistakes I might make.
I recently installed the ARM GNU compiler, and since then, I've been encountering some warnings in my console during compilation. I'd like to resolve or eliminate them if possible. Can anyone offer assistance?
Here are the warnings I'm seeing:

Could someone kindly guide me on how to address these warnings or suppress them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi,
These warnings are expected if the syscall functions are not implemented by the user for re-targeting.
If you use --specs=nonsys.specs, then the user must re-target the syscall functions, like _close, by re-implementing them. Otherwise, a default _close function will get used, which does not have the correct implementation for re-targeting.
If you are using semihosting, then you can use --specs=rdimon.specs.
I hope that helps. Let us know if you have further questions.
