error: linking with c:/msys64/mingw64/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe failed: exit code: 1

I have been trying to compile this project with MSYS2 for a while now, but I keep getting this error:
= note: c:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/10.1.0/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld.exe: warning: -z relro ignored

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I know this means that the linker can't find the libraries libqcc, libutil, librt, libpthread, and libdl. I just haven't found any way to include these libraries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, I probably can't help too much with MSYS2 errors. I've rarely tried building on Windows (cause I don't use Windows regularly). With WSL2 and Powershell (with the rustup installer) I was able to build it without any problems. Can you try it with WSL2? Alternatively, I need more information to be able to reproduce your setup (how/where did you install rust, which command do you use to build, did you modify any configs, ...)

Here is a list of all of the packages that are installed. My cargo config just looks like this: [target.armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi] linker = "c:/msys64/mingw64/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe". I ran cargo build --release --target armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi to build. Rust is installed in C:/Users/myusername/. In the .bashrc I have export PATH=$PATH:/c/Users/myusername/.cargo/bin. This should be everything you need to reproduce my situation.

This isn't a top priority to me, so I'm just going to use linux to compile this.
