I extracted content of the .tar gcc-arm-none-eabi 2020 to my projects folder on the MacOS. I added toolchain folder to SES and I am able to build the source files, but it fails immediately on linking.
I created new project, so it just contains boilerplate files for CortexM. I dont use any external library. Seems like some option in the SES makes something weird in the linker command, but I cant figure out which ..


there are only two places in this output which contains --start-group, where first one doesnt contain --end-group

this one doesnt have --end-group.



And then the other one contains -lc parameter which I would assume is somehow interpreted as a c library ? But it cant find it on the filesystem ?

Any idea why am I getting these linker errors and how to fix that ?

I fixed this problem, but will still leave the original question as it might help someone else with the same issue.
As I suspected originally, it was related to the c library, libc.a on the mac os.
.tar.gz was "corrupted' in a way that it didnt re-create symbolic libraries properly. And as libc.a was linked to the libg.a, but link was invalid, linker couldnt find the library.

Deleting the libc.a sym link and re-linking the libg.a again fixed the issue.
