Hi,
The error message happens because "ldrh ..." line is a thumb instruction.
I am using newlib-1.19.0 but the same problem happens when I try to
build newlib-1.18.0.

The "-mcpu=" flag is set to arm7. When I manually run the same line with "-mcpu=arm7tdmi"
the compile is good. It also works if I use "-mcpu=arm9".
