RE: "SVC is not permitted on this architecture" while compiling Newlib

["Bin Cheng" <bin dot cheng at arm dot com>]

I tried to build newlib-1.20 with binutils-2.22 and it works.
I think the issue might have something to do with the "OS extension on
armv6-m" problem
in binuitls, which I think have been fixed in binutils 2.22 release.

Could you please provide the failed command line and gcc
version/configuration information?


Thanks.
