Research direction

Reproduce the command from the issue using build/cross/arm.txt and build/cross/cortex-m3.txt with -Denable-threading=false, then inspect the complete compiler error after the reported Meson warning. Compare the configuration with the README example and determine what change is needed for an official arm-none-eabi toolchain; done means the example builds successfully with threads disabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Running the build specified in the ci file (or an example given in the readme) with an official arm-none-eabi toolchain fails to compile.

  • Project Version/Tag/Commit: 3d809a75669f3f3600a57ac2ab30f71591338bfb
  • Operating System: Fedora 36
  • SDK version: ?
  • Toolchain version: See log; tried with two later releases with same effect

I set the path to the compiler by editing build/cross/arm.txt

I can imagine that there are some requirements on how the compiler itself is compiled (in that case having threads enabled?). Could you provide a working example with an official arm-none-eabi-gcc or point to a compiler that works with the example configuration of this project?

Thanks!
