/home/pfalcon/opt/zephyr-sdk-0.8.2/sysroots/i686-pokysdk-linux/usr/libexec/i586-poky-elf/gcc/i586-poky-elf/5.2.0/real-ld: region `RAM' overflowed by 19396 bytes
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The size quoted, 19396, is, based on the Zephyr linker map file, is the full size of "bss" section, i.e. the message kind of tells that full and exact BSS is what doesn't fit RAM, which is otherwise 192K. Surprisingly, this issue doesn't affect qemu_cortex_m3 build (RAM 64K). Based on that, it looks like a weird incompatibility with Zephyr SDK x86 toolchain or something. The issue occurs with both Zephyr 1.6.0 and master, SDK used is 0.8.2 (latest).
