Which tool chain are you using? Do you see differnt behaviour with
and without USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes ?

But this is a different error message, isn;t it?

Argh...

Could you please provide a usable error report?

Which exact tool chain is this? What are your exact commands to
configure and build the board? What are the exact error messages?

I don;t see any error messages when building, and I don't have such a
board to actually run the code.

I wish you had reported such issues when the patch was posted. There
has been _long_ discussion about it.

Best regards,
