I saw such error in my build gcc 12.1.0 for Symbian. GCC 11.2.0 works fine.
I encounter such error while building ScummVM for Symbian. This error happened randomly. I thought my environment broken and switched to GCC 11.2.0 and errors gone.
GCC 11.2.0 comes with binutils 2.35, GCC 12.1.0 comes with binutils 2.29.1
What binutils version you have?
