I am trying to build nrfsdk for the nrf52840 armgcc, running make gives following error.

su@su-desktop:~/nRF/nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560/examples/peripheral/template_project/pca10056/blank/armgcc$ make

  1. make sure you actually have the arm-none-eabi-gcc toolchain installed.
arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

if you don't have it, you can find it here: https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/gnu-rm

  1. if you do have it installed but are not sure of where to find it, run this
$ whereis arm-none-eabi-gcc
arm-none-eabi-gcc /opt/arm-none-eabi-gcc/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc <-- this line can be different for you
  1. then you can edit the Makefile.posix file (ex by opening it in a text editor)

go to the directory of your nrfSDK install, then components>toolchain>gcc>Makefile.posix and edit the GNU_INSTALL_ROOT field (for me that was /opt/arm-none-eabi-gcc/bin) and GNU_VERSION field to whatever toolchain version you installed (9.3.1 in my case)

Hope it helps :)
