The issue is being masked because I'm specifying a specific directory to build. I would have hoped that it would at least link into a subsystem type object file, but it looks as though it's only being *-ar'ed into an archive. It appears linking is only done once at the very end of the compile, which is kind of frustrating for my use-case. This confused me because I know that I'd received linking errors before. However this must have been for files compiled as modules (these are linked on-the-fly) rather than built-ins, which are only linked once everything else has finished. Not sure how I'm going to fix this yet, since compiling everything is very time consuming, but I'll work something out. Thanks again. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Senior Technical Lead - Developer Services Linaro.org │ Open source software for Arm SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
