ld issues with gcc

Hi all,

Carsten brought to my attention that some of you folks have had linking issues during the 6lowpan plugtest last weekend.

As I have struggled with gcc not being able to link even the hello-world application against libgcc on my platform, I build a shiny brand new gcc-4.8.1 yesterday, and it worked fine! (I had to switch off libsanitizer to get gcc built, though).

For the records:

Working for target x86_64-linux-gnu: gcc version 4.8.1 (GCC)

versions that did not work for me (others not tested): gcc version 4.7.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1), gcc version 4.6.3 20120918 (prerelease) (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-10ubuntu1)

Best Regards Olaf

Hi Olaf,

thanks for the advice, I'll check it out.

Cheers, Oleg

Hi Olaf, thanks for the info. We cross-posted to the devel mailing list (http://lists.riot-os.org/mailman/listinfo/devel), where this info will be useful too :wink: Best, Emmanuel
