If you stub out sbrk_r without implementing it correctly, dynamic memory
allocation will not work. It is a newlib syscall that you need ot
implement to map the C library to the target platform.

Not if you want to run it on an ARM target!

It is not a path issue, you need to provide the missing functions.

Maybe you have not linked tham then?

You do if the code uses the heap and dynamic memory allocation. If the
linker is looking for them, something must be calling them for a reason.

Read the newlib documentation. Look at the available examples.

So basically:

1. the linkmap that's used is incorrect (probably need the provided
linkmap.ld)
By default it uses gnu-ld (arm-bb-elf-gcc is also configured with
gnu-ld)
How to check whether this is true?

2. The linker is provided by package or provided by toolchain?
I am trying to understand what's going on.

Ah... by "linkmap" you mean the linker script. I do not believe that
this is relevant in this at all. It seems that you have simply not
completed the target support layer for the newlib library as I said.
However the use of the exit() function may be troublesome - in an
embedded system where do you 'exit' to? This may or may not make sense
in teh context of your target platform - I have no idea what a
"bluebird/philips arm chip for Siemens Gigaset SIP phone" is to be
honest.

The linker is part of the build toolchain. The compiler creates object
code from single source files. Libraries such as your libosip.a file
contain multiple object code modules. The linker is responsible for
linking all your application's object modules and any library modules
needed to resolve references in the application to form the final binary
executable.

In this case it seems that the library makes references to the standard
library, which in turn requires that you implement certain platform
specific functions.

According to the buildchain:


This toolchain is derived from the GNU ARM toolchain
http://www.gnuarm.com.

SHC made changes to build a special version for the Philips BlueBird
chip.

These changes mainly contain:
  Modification of the gcc multilib configuration in order to build for
  ARM, THUMB, ARM-Interworking and THUMB-Interworking.

  The newlib configuration was changed to get get a memory and code
  optimized version suitable for our target system.

Furthermore, I see some refrences to -mcpu=arm7tdmi in makefile

I am not sure what the means, they sound pretty much like the standard
multilib builds. Perhaps it means that they omitted some of the other
library builds not suited to the specific platform.

If the toolchain were built for a specific platform, then it would be
reasonable to expect that the necessary stubs were provided. I am not
sure why they would not be.

So, the linker (in the toolchain) should point automatically to the
right stubs.
If it doesn't can we manually point it to the right path? Or can we
check for some error? I saw that the makefile builds with -no-stlibs and
-with-multilib.

unfortunately, they did not include the config.log form libosip BUT they
left the config.h in place, maybe this tells us something? It says
addendum on top?
