Now I have GCC 5.1, this issue, and one of my own projects with a
lurking bug that needs major rework to fix - fun all round! I will
certainly get on to this (just downloaded 1.5.0).

In the mean time, I think it would be legitimate to make the 1.3.0
version available? (plus the patches needed to make it compilable on
Unix systems - mainly replacing \ by /).

You *should* only need the Cube package if you're going to rebuild the
RTS or the BSP - or include C sources - since libbsp-rtos.a includes a
complete set of binaries.
