#98 ARM libm.a (and maybe others) missing

[Scott Alfter]

I installed the Cygwin version of prc-tools (using
setup.exe), along with Eclipse, the Palm OS 5 SDK (R3),
and other related items. I have a simple test app that
includes some ARM code as well as 68K code. If I build
the project with [arm|m68k]-palmos-gcc, everything
works. I can replace m68k-palmos-gcc with
m68k-palmos-g++ and still get a working binary. When I
replace arm-palmos-gcc with arm-palmos-g++, though, the
ARM code doesn't build:

arm-palmos-g++ -palmos5r3 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -nostartfiles -o ARMTest
ARMTest.c
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-palmos/3.3.1/../../../../arm-palmos/bin/ld:
cannot find -lm

It's complaining that libm.a is missing. It's present
(as a symlink) in /usr/m68k-palmos/lib, but it's not in
/usr/arm-palmos/lib. In fact, the only libraries in
/usr/arm-palmos/lib are libc.a and libstdc++.a.

I've pulled the CVS tree and will try building from
that to see if I can get the ARM libraries that
way...are these files simply missing from the Cygwin
install packages, or are they not available at all at
this time?

Rebuilding from source didn't fix the problem. For some
reason, though, it doesn't pop up if arm-palmos-g++ is used
only to generate object files...combining the object files
into an executable with arm-palmos-gcc will work.

Now, though, I'm running into a problem with a missing
libnoexcept.a, which is needed for any code that uses new
and delete (which is nearly any non-trivial piece of C++).
Why are these getting built for 68K, but not ARM?
