Maybe the newlib-lpc is providing _close_r and newlib is looking for _close ?
ie. One linked for re-entrancy and the other not.
I'm guessing here !

Subject: [lpc2000] problem with Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-188 and libnewlib-lpc.a

Hello,

I try to use newlib-lpc with Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-188 compiler. I can't understand why can I get these errors: undefined reference to `_write', `_close', `_sbrk' and etc. It seems that library "libnewlib-lpc.a" does not provide the system level codes (`_write',`_close' ...)
But I'm sure all these functions are in the libnewlib-lpc.a. Any ideas?

Have you tried newlib-lpc with Sourcery G++ Lite compiler?

Here is my problem:

You would normally provide application specific versions of these
functions yourself. If you don't need the functions then they can be
stubbed out.

Google "newlib sbrk" and you will get a lot of information.

Also, grab the FreeRTOS code and look in the file:
FreeRTOS\Demo\ARM7_LPC2368_Eclipse\RTOSDemo\syscalls.c
for an example of a set of stub functions.
