RE: [arm-gnu]linker error section .got

["Sun Yanfei" <Yanfei.Sun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Robert,
    If you are using it to link eCos library, just put this section into
RAM and add it in your link file. That would be ok.

Best Regards,
Ray

Morning Daniel
Thanks for your answer. I think the error statement I pasted further up
is  
somewhat misleading. The Console-screen of Eclipse wraps a long line and
I  
copied the last line of the output only. The preceeding line ends with  
.....arm-none-

and this then combines beatyfulle to "arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld....

and these are the tools I am using - the ones with prefix  
"arm-none-linux-gnueabi". I assumed that these are the right tools for  
non-linux embedded applications - with e. g. eCOS. Is this assumption  
wrong?

The tools compile and link eCOS successfully - this .got-section problem

only pops up when I try to link my modules together with the eCOS
library.
