You say "build" ? I assume then that you are compiling from the IDE,
please check "OPTIONS" --> "Code generation" --> "more" and insure
that the "project file" (or default, if no prj is active) specifies
"floating point emulation" and not "none". I believe that the TLINK.CFG
is NOT used by the IDE.
Hope this helps.
