Hi, As discussed in the PR, we do not support the case where CMSE stubs are inserted too far from their destination. This would require an intermediate long-branch stub, which is tricky in this context. Instead of crashing, this patch emit an error message and exits. I will send a GCC testsuite patch separately to avoid placing the CMSE stubs too far. OK?
