The issue is there is a loop inside of memset that gets converted to a call to memset; that is if I read the assembly code correctly. if that is the case then this is a bug in the newlib makefiles as they should be using -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns or like what glibc does: /* Add the compiler optimization to inhibit loop transformation to library calls. This is used to avoid recursive calls in memset and memmove default implementations. */ #ifdef HAVE_CC_INHIBIT_LOOP_TO_LIBCALL # define inhibit_loop_to_libcall \ __attribute__ ((__optimize__ ("-fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns"))) #else # define inhibit_loop_to_libcall #endif So closing as invalid, please report this to newlib. Note the work around is not to use -O3 or use -O3 -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns .
