cannot compile helloyotta for mbed-gcc

Trying to build "helloyotta" sample for mbed-gcc, but encounter the errors described below:

Ubuntu 12.04.5. Installed latest gcc-arm-none-eabi manually.

Downloaded helloyotta. yotta target mbed-gcc yotta build

Hello Boris,

I'm not sure that the latest version of GCC is supported by mbed at the moment. As stated in the yotta documentation (it is not in the right section): mbed is tested with GCC 4.9 (see here: http://yottadocs.mbed.com/#windows-cross-compile).

You should also get GCC from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded.
