Makefile: Remove -nostartfiles from LDFLAGS #129

Closed celledge closed 3 years ago

Binutils linker ld does not support the flag -nostartfiles. This is interpreted as "-n -o startfiles" which fortunately has no impact on the build process. Removing -nostartfiles has no impact on the build.

Binutils 2.36 and later ld has improved flag parsing and throws an error if -nostartfiles is passed as an argument. Removing the flag fixes the problem. Details on the Binutils ML: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-June/116826.html

resolves linux4sam/at91bootstrap#127
