Hi.
I use this makefile for me but I realised that there is a problem during linking.
You have to specific not to use exception in c++ using -fno-exceptions in CXX_FLAGS

Is that a problem? I prefer not having exceptions in embedded code, because they add a ton of code bloat and very little utility on embedded devices. I find it much better to instead rely on other error signaling methods.

Not using expeptions it's not a problem. The problem is that your makefile don't have -fno-exceptions flag and, al least in my project, without that flag linker errors happens.
