Forum: ARM programming with GCC/GNU tools linker errors caused by malloc and free

I'm getting this linker error:

arm-none-eabi/lib/thumb2libc.a(lib_a-sbrkr.o): In function `_sbrk_r':
sbrkr.c:(.text+0xc): undefined reference to `_sbrk'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I think I partly figured out the linker problem. If I remove all
references to malloc and free, the source compiles (CodeSourcery G++).
So, obviously I have a problem with malloc/free. I believe it's using
the compiler's built in functions. So, what do I do? I have no idea
what's missing here. If extra code needs to be written, I'm not sure how
or why. Shouldn't this be taken care of by the compiler?
