yes, and that's why this version fails to work on a cortex-m0. Why are there arm32 instructions in thumb/crt0.o? Is it possible to use the newlib with a cortex-m0 cpu and if, how would I have to configure it?
I've poked a little bit into other functions of the newlib and all, but _mainCRTStartup/_start seem to be correctly compiled to thumb instructions. So I can make use of the newlib except for functions that needs some initialization. Is there a subset of the C library functions that are known to be used without initialization?
Thank you,
Torsten
