read in flex scanner failed, compiling with gcc

Question

After compilation of whole source, while linking I get this error:

/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: read in flex scanner failed

Any pointers what could be going wrong and where to look for it?

Answer 1

My problem was a space after a comma when specifying linker arguments: -L. -Wl,-T, gcc_arm.ld resulted in

read in flex scanner failed

To fix, ensure there are no spaces around the commas: -L. -Wl,-T,gcc_arm.ld

Answer 2

Turns out i was passing wrong path to the file in g++ --version_script=worng_path
