issue with -R option coupled with -Xlinker gcc option

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi,

Tool detail:
Arm-elf-gcc version : 4.0.0
Arm-elf-ld version : 2.15

This issue is to do with the –R linker option. Usually
with other tool-chains you provide the symbol file to
the link step to link a different image in a separate
memory region. But, in case of gcc (mipsisa32-elf-gcc)
I supply the elf output of one image to the link step
of 2nd image with the –R linker option & it worked.
I tried the same with ARM architecture (arm-elf-gcc) &
provided the –R option to gcc coupled with the
–Xlinker option & it produces the following error:

arm-elf-gcc ramcode.o frmwrk.o consol.o led.o rtc.o
stke.o ac_armdefs.o ac_halt.
o init.o -mcpu=arm7tdmi  -nostartfiles  -T
./../../../../config/gcc/link2106_ram
.ld -Wl,-Map=symfiletest_ram.map,--cref -o
symfiletest_ram.elf -Xlinker -R -Xlin
ker ./../../rom/bin/romlib_ram.elf

please repo
rt this bug

make: *** [symfiletest_ram.elf] Error 1


Please help me with this issue!!

Thanks,
-Mike.
