Build fails with GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain

[nschuetz1311]

Bug description:
Compiling problem when trying to build the "EcFw-zephyr"

Reproducible by:
following the getting started guide (https://intel.github.io/ecfw-zephyr/index.html)

Expected behavior:
"west build -c -p auto -b mec1501modular_assy6885" compiling without any issues.

Environment:
Windows 10
GnuArmEmb 10 2020-Q4-Major
CMake v3.20.1

Additional Information:
building other applications with the "normal" Zephyr SDK works on my Windows system, only trying to build this seems to cause this problem.

@nschuetz1311 downgrade CMake to 3.18 or 3.16.

[nschuetz1311]

So I tested it with V3.18 and 3.16 but still get the same output.

Please read this thread

After setting everything up from scratch with the CMake 3.16, the build process now aborts at a different issue.

Is this also a known issue?

Can reproduce this with a clean install.

I tried to disable logging in the prj file ... build is working. So the project itself seems to be o.k.

To solve the logging issue i changed to an old SDK. Project is based on Zephyr 2.3 so went down to SDK 0.11.4.
Now i was able to build the project with logging enabled.

[nschuetz1311]

Thank you, disabling the logging did actually solve this issue for me!
