[ECOS] error: no memory region specified for loadable section `.got'

["Scott Moore" <smoore at powerfile dot com>]

Hi, 

we are trying to compile ecos with a later version than the default
supplied arm toolset. Ecos compiles to a .a just fine, but then the
final compile/link (in this case the example "hello.c") fails with
the error:

===============================================================================
C:\projects\ecos_examples>arm-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -nostartfiles -Lc:/projects/
ecos_test/install/lib -Ttarget.ld -static -mcpu=arm7tdmi -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-

emory region specified for loadable section `.got'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

C:\projects\ecos_examples>
===============================================================================

As you can see, we are trying the gcc 4.1.0 compiler.

So far, all we have seen is that .got implies "position independent code" mode.
I didn't see an option to turn this mode off, we don't need or want it.

Thank you.
