Why Altera MPL (Minimal Preloader) build error with ARMCC ?

[Altera_Forum]

Follow the instruction of C:\altera\14.1\embedded\examples\software\Altera-SoCFPGA-HardwareLib-MPL\README.txt. 

 I am using Cyclone V SoC Dev Kit, in comfig.mk, I modified content as below:  BOOT_SOURCE := QSPI  DEVICE := C5  COMPILER := gnu  I am using DS-5 to import this example (C:\altera\14.1\embedded\examples\software\Altera-SoCFPGA-HardwareLib-MPL) Build project is successful.   But when I set  COMPILER := arm  then get compile error as below:  armcc -o bin/sequencer.o -c -g -O3 -I. -I./core/ -I./core/altera_ip -IC:/altera/14.1/embedded/ip/altera/hps/altera_hps/hwlib/include -IC:/altera/14.1/embedded/ip/altera/hps/altera_hps/hwlib/include/socal -IC:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/software/preloader/generated -IC:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0 -DARMCC -DQSPI_BOOT -DCONFIG_SOCFPGA_CYCLONE5 -DPRINTF_UART --diag_suppress=9931 --cpu=Cortex-A9.no_neon.no_vfp --split_sections --c99 --no_unaligned_access -DARMCOMPILER --diag_suppress=68 --diag_suppress=177 --diag_suppress=550 C:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/sequencer.c "C:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/sequencer.c", line 76: Error: # 79: expected a type specifier  asm(".global __alt_stack_pointer");  ^ "C:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/sequencer.c", line 76: Error: # 260-D: explicit type is missing ("int" assumed)  asm(".global __alt_stack_pointer");  ^ "C:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/sequencer.c", line 77: Error: # 79: expected a type specifier  asm("__alt_stack_pointer = " STRINGIFY(STACK_POINTER));  ^ "C:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/sequencer.c", line 77: Error: # 260-D: explicit type is missing ("int" assumed)  asm("__alt_stack_pointer = " STRINGIFY(STACK_POINTER));  ^ C:/altera/14.1/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd/hps_isw_handoff/soc_system_hps_0/sequencer.c: 0 warnings, 4 errors make: *** [bin/sequencer.o] Error 1

I was told that this is a known issue and the workaround is to comment out the assembly code at the top of sequence.c
