I've seen this issue as well on Manjaro.. I ended up downloading from [1] instead.

[NeoChen1024]

But this happens to AVR Toolchain too, it seems newer version of GNU ld dropped these parameters

[Ouss4]

Could be the case, I had other similar LD issues with other options (in building something not related to NuttX). Do you have any release notes that explain these new modification?

[btashton]

The latest release still seems to have them and they are quite standard linker flags, I suspect something else is going on here

[NeoChen1024]

Maybe something's wrong with Arch Linux's cross toolchain

[hartmannathan]

This is caused by Binutils being updated to the 2.36.x line.

This is fixed by PR #3836

This is now documented at Release Notes for the (future) NuttX-10.2 release:
