It appears that the default multilib for the compiler that you built is not "-mcpu=cortex-m0" (probably, it's something ARMv4-ish). > > For a quick fix try adding --with-arch=cortex-m0 to GCC configure line. I'm going to check if this would help. The workaround would however mean that to switch from Cortex-M0 to Cortex-M4 and vice-versa I'd either need two separate gcc builds or I could relay on the fact that m0 instruction set is subset of m4.

Thanks for this post, now I know what the problem really is about. Sadly the patch you provide does not take under account cortex-m0. If I have time, I'll try to dig into it. --------------------- Currently I'm linking my code with an external aeabi for cortex-m0 taken from: https://github.com/bobbl/libaeabi-cortexm0 This works fine as a workaround and is at least portable (i.e. I can send the code to a friend using unpatched gcc). btw, as Chris noticed, not only aeabi functions use wrong instruction set, all libs added by the linker are unmatched, e.g. stdlib.
