FPA linking error

Massimiliano C. OP #1173617 
I use GNUARM gcc 4.1.1, and I compile for arm966e-s (str912)

I have a linker error:
/cygdrive/c/programmi/gnuarm/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.1.1/libgcc.a(_divs 
i3.o)
uses FPA instructions, whereas demo_arm966s.elf does not

the compiler command lines are the sam for all files:
arm-elf-gcc -c  -mcpu=arm966e-s  -I. -gstabs -DROM_RUN  -Wall
-Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wimplicit  -Wpointer-arith -Wswitch
-Wredundant-decls -Wreturn-type -Wshadow -Wunused -Wa,-adhlns=main.lst
-I./libstr91x/include -O3 -MD -MP -MF .dep/main.o.d -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes  -std=gnu99 main.c -o main.o

and the linker command line is:
arm-elf-gcc  -mcpu=arm966e-s  -I. -gstabs -DROM_RUN  -Wall -Wcast-align
-Wcast-qual -Wimplicit  -Wpointer-arith -Wswitch -Wredundant-decls
-Wreturn-type -Wshadow -Wunused -Wa,-adhlns=startup.lst
-I./libstr91x/include -O3 -MD -MP -MF .dep/demo_arm966s.elf.d startup.o
vector.o     main.o vectors.o     --output demo_arm966s.elf
-nostartfiles -Wl,-Map=demo_arm966s.map,--cref   -lgcc -Llibstr91x
-lstr91x -Trom912.ld

Any idea?
How can I avoid this problem?

thanks

There are multiple libraries built for different architectures. Since
your device almost certainly has no FPA hardware you don't want an FPA
supporting library. I am not sure why your build is picking up an FPA
library, but in the past when this has occurred, it has been solved by
specifying -nostdlib and then linking the required libraries explicitly
(you;ll normally need at least libgcc.a and probably libc.a, and
possibly libm.a linked in the order -lm -lc -lgcc after any additional
libraries you might link).

There is something strange:
If I compile changing from -mcpu=arm966e-s to -mcpu=arm7tdmi all works,
and the linker uses the same libraries.
I don't think that arm7tdmi has FPA instructions and arm9 don't. I
cannot understand.

I tried also 2 different versione of yagarto (gcc 4.1.1 and 4.2.2) with
the same
results.

I will try with -nostdlib, but I don't think that this can solve the
problem

thanks
