Here is a good work-around to this problem.
First, create a textfile called makefile.defs in the project's root directory. This file is referenced in the autogenerated makefile in an include statement as shown and is provided for the developer to influence an auto-generated make.
.
.
.
ifneq ($(strip $(S_UPPER_DEPS)),)
-include $(S_UPPER_DEPS)
endif
endif
-include ../makefile.defs
# Add inputs and outputs from these tool invocations to the build variables
# All Target
.
.
.
Use this file, makefile.defs, to copy all the compiled object files and libraries into a file which we called ObjectList. The makefile script we used is:
$(shell rm ObjectList)
$(foreach obj, $(OBJS), $(shell echo $(obj) >> ObjectList))
$(shell echo $(USER_OBJS) >> ObjectList)
There is probably a more efficient script than this but I'm not a script wiz.
Finally, edit the project linker settings' Command Line Pattern to remove the reference to $(INPUTS) and replace it with @ObjectList
Hope this helps.
I figured out that exactly ONE character is removed from the command line string, which is always at the same position!
I added three dummy characters to the path string which was not found anymore. In the result the position where the character is missing has moved by three!
So I added a long empty entry in property setting > Cross ARM C++ Link > Miscellaneous just before the library which isn't found and now the linking works fine again.
(see the picture)
I know, this is just a quick hack but it works for the moment until the bug is fixed.
