Fix CMake compilation error caused by deprecated linker flag variables

[Copilot]

Problem

Users encountered a CMake compiler test failure when configuring STM32 projects in CLion. After setting up the toolchain and clicking "Confirm" (确认), the build would fail with the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:67 (message): 错误
The C compiler
"D:/ide/STM32CubeCLT_1.19.0/GNU-tools-for-STM32/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe"
is not able to compile a simple test program.

unrecognized option '--major-image-version'
use the --help option for usage information

This prevented users from successfully building their STM32 projects, as shown in issue screenshots.

Root Cause

The gcc-arm-none-eabi.cmake toolchain file was using deprecated CMake variables for linker flags:

• CMAKE_C_LINK_FLAGS (deprecated, not recognized by modern CMake)
• CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS (deprecated, not recognized by modern CMake)

These variables are no longer properly handled by CMake 3.28+, causing linker flags to be passed incorrectly during the compiler detection phase, which results in the linker receiving malformed arguments.

Solution

Updated the toolchain configuration to use the modern, standard CMake variable:

• Replaced all instances of CMAKE_C_LINK_FLAGS with CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS
• Removed the deprecated CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS variable
• Added TOOLCHAIN_LINK_LIBRARIES for consistency with the working starm-clang.cmake configuration

This aligns the GCC ARM toolchain with CMake best practices and matches the approach already used successfully in the Clang toolchain configuration in this repository.

Documentation

Added a comprehensive troubleshooting section (常见编译问题) to the README that:

• Documents the exact error message users might encounter
• Explains the root cause in clear terms
• Provides the solution for users who may have older versions
• Notes that the fix is already applied in the current repository

Verification

The fix can be verified by CMake documentation:

$ cmake --help-variable CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS  # ✅ Valid variable
$ cmake --help-variable CMAKE_C_LINK_FLAGS      # ❌ Not recognized
