<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I think I’ve worked out where your GOT entry is coming from. There is a R_ARM_TARGET2 relocation which takes on a different value based on the target. For Linux targets this defaults to R_ARM_GOT_PREL.
For embedded systems I think R_ARM_ABS32 is what an embedded build of GNU ld will use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Can you add -Wl,--target2=abs to your command line (option is supported by GNU ld and LLD; documented
<a href="https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/ARM.html">https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/ARM.html</a>). That should make the GOT unnecessary. Ideally we should add that flag to the bare-metal driver for Arm Targets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">There is a chance that this will make everything magically work. If the unwinder is expecting R_ARM_TARGET2 to be resolved as R_ARM_ABS32 then even if lld correctly resolves R_ARM_GOT_PREL it won’t
be what the unwinder is expecting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Peter, Eli,<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have linked the binary using the verbose option and could see I was missing "crti.o", "crtbegin.o", "crt0.o", "crtend.o" and "crtn.o" object files. GCC from the ARM GNU GCC Toolchain figures it out on its own for the specific architecture,
even if the "-nostdlib" command line is used. "-nostartfiles" prevents it from linking those object files on its own.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">After linking "crt*" objects for the Clang build the error recurred. I get the "got" section with one entry and the exceptions are not working properly. I am able to use the same set of arguments for GCC, though, except the "--target" option.
Linking the final executable with Clang:<o:p></o:p></p>
