I pushed a new version to feature-coap-wip, with the typo fix. More
importantly, the IP checksum handling has now been changed so that the IP
header checksum is recomputed each and every time a packet is sent out. In my
environment, this version works externally as well as the previous one: answers
to ARP, UDP echo, and CoAP. The corner cases with IP checksums should be fixed
now, thanks to Antti's suggestions off-list.
Next on my list is to clean up the ENC28J60 code somewhat, mostly inlining some
SPI functions so in order to reduce the code size. (At the moment
enc28j60_spi.o is huge by our standards (over 800 bytes), as the compiler is
not able to perform constant propagation on pins. Fixing this requires moving
those functions inline, allowing constant propagation to optimise them when
they are called from the user-level code in the CoAP header. But we really
should move to LLVM also on ARM, to avoid this.)

Looks recent enough to me. :-)
Hence, the issue is that when linking for ARM, we use the ld command, when
linking for the emulator, we use the g++ command. The reason for this is that
when linking for the ARM, we want strict control over the libraries, while for
the emulator we want to have whatever libraries GCC uses by default. The ld
command takes --start-group and --end-group directly. The g++ command does not
understand them, and therefore they must be prefixed -Wl,
At the moment it is more important to link for ARM and test on the real board.
