Embedded Studio Go To Definition/Declaration not working for functions outside of file

Hello,

I've been using  SES for ARM (Nordic Edition) V4.16 (64-bit).  I am working with nRF9160 sample code.  While attempting to explore the code, when I right click on a function or variable and try to 'Go To Definition' or 'Go To Declaration' nothing happens.  It cannot find the original definition of the function.  This makes it virtually impossible to explore the sample code as I can't go see function definitions and understand what they are doing.  

As an example:

In the GPS sample, in the 'enable_gps()' function within main.c, I tried right clicking and selecting Go To Definition for 'memcmp()' on line 65.  Nothing happens.  The Go To calls work properly for functions defined within the main.c file, for example 'process_gps_data().' But not if the function or variable is defined outside of the file I'm in.

Am I missing some setting in SES? I have compiled and built the solutions and tried using the Go To commands.  I am able to successfully program the DK and run the samples.   

Thanks!
