Cross g++ compiler linker error

2

I am using Eclipse to cross compile a g++ project for an ARM processor. I am using the yagarto toolchain in a Windows environment. I have no issues with C projects, but with C++ I keep receiving the errors:

libc.a(lib_a-abort.o): In function `abort':
abort.c:63: undefined reference to `_exit'

libc.a(lib_a-sbrkr.o): In function `_sbrk_r':
sbrkr.c:58 undefined reference to `_sbrk'

libc.a(lib_a-signalr.o): In function `_kill_r':
signalr.c:61: undefined reference to `_kill'

as well as:

undefined reference to `_getpid'
undefined reference to `_write'
undefined reference to `_close'
undefined reference to `_fstat'
undefined reference to `_isatty'
undefined reference to `_lseek'
undefined reference to `_read'

From looking around it looks like I have a linker issue. I tried to add the linker flash.ld. It is from a GCC example for my ARM development kit from Atmel Studio. It is not helping. Is there a linker for g++ somewhere? Do I have another issue?

Here are my build options:

make all
Building target: Foo
Invoking: Cross G++ Linker
arm-none-eabi-g++ -nostartfiles -T C:/Users/kempsa/eclipse_workspace/Foo/flash.ld -o"Foo"  ./HALTimer1.o ./Main.o

I have the source files Main.cpp, HALTimer1.cpp and the header file Haltimer.h. The main file only includes the header file. The header file only defines a class for the HALTimer with one variable. I don't believe these affect the error. I believe the error is solely from tying to build a g++ project without the correct linker file.

Here is the content of the linker file:

Add the linker options -Wl,--gc-sections and the problem should be resolved
