The problem is fixed now.

For reference: I was using 2.19.1, after updating to 2.19.51 the ARM
interworking link bugs disappeared.

Greetings,
Miguel Angel.

I sent this email to gcc-help, but may be somebody here had the
same problem before.

My GCC is generating broken "_from_arm" stubs sometimes in interworking mode.

Thanks in advance,
Miguel Angel.

Hello, I hope I'm writting to the right list,

I'm having a problem with gcc 4.4.0 cross compiler from IA32 to
ARM7TDMI in embedded
environments (newlib) with ARM/THUMB interworking.

Everything has worked fine in my tests until I tried to make use
of the libc, after
doing that, some parts of the "_from_arm" generated stubs for
interworking got broken/
overwritten/ ?? at linking time. Also the function attributes change
from "thunk" to "noreturn".

But it doesn't happen to all of the _from_arm stubs, only some of them.

If you have any hints about where to look to solve this it or whom
to ask , that would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Miguel Angel
