Hello,
After the cleanup of C++ linking with the GCC toolchain. We missed
updating one instance with the correct TOOLCHAIN configuration. This
leads to build failures for arm ports with slowdebug. I have no idea why
it only happens there, but correcting the TOOLCHAIN configuration (so
that g++ is used to link instead of gcc) makes it build again.
Unexplained errors raise alarm bells for me. This particular reference
relates to C++ exception handling which raises questions:
- why only on this platform?
- why only in slowdebug?
- why only in this code? (which seems unrelated to exceptions)
I agree the fix is to use g++ instead of gcc for linking, assuming the
exception related code should actually be there.
The alarm bells ringed for me too. :-) I actually started debugging this
one, but Erik beat me to it. :) I did however conclude that this error
occured due to static linking (without it, everything went fine) and if
I explicitely specified -lstdc++ as well, I got a more informative
error, telling me that the static version of libgcc was not found. I
didn't go further, since Erik found the (correct) solution, but I assume
that the devkit we use to build for the arm platforms are missing some
bits, which was only needed for slowdebug builds.

The build error looks like this:
