In certain circumstances, such as failure to obtain licenses, RVCT 2.2's armcc 

program still produces object files whose contents is junk. This causes build 

problems later as from Make's point of view those object files are "up to 

date" so the build tries to link them. Of course, these attempts at linking 

fail and the build is broken.

This is a work around for that RVCT 2.2 problem.
