TZ_NONSECURE_FUNC_PTR_CREATE SPM error with v1.0.0 for nRF9160

Question

Hello, 
 I have seen today that the new releases of the v1.0.0 SDK and v1.0.0 modem firmware were release for the nRF9160 DK. I have been able to update the modem firmware but I'm coming across an error with the SDK.

MichaelDs-MacBook-Pro:build michaeldavidson$ 
 Every time I try to build I get an error from the SPM code about about TZ_NONSECURE_FUNC_PTR_CREATE. This error occurs no matter what the code I try to build, be that my own custom application, SPM itself or any of the example programs. 
 I had orginally updated my ncs folder with my custom additions but this occurred after I updated. I then renamed that ncs_backup and did a fresh install in a new ncs folder of the repos using the instructions in 'Getting Started' and the same issue occurs.

Hi, 
 
 There seems to be two issues that might be related in this thread: 
 1. TrustZone defines not working with GCC 6 or GCC 8. We are aware of this, and it is reported internally, but for now; please use GCC 7 (2018-Q2). GCC 8 has had other issues, like linking errors on the windows platform, so it has been ruled out for now. 
 2. nrfjprog v10.1.1 has an issue where it does not properly do a sectorerase on nRF9160 in certain corners (which ninja/west calls in the background). This should be fixed with the latest version v10.2.1, available for download here: https://www.nordicsemi.com/?sc_itemid=%7B56868165-9553-444D-AA57-15BDE1BF6B49%7D 
 
 Could you see if these two items resolve the issues seen in this thread? 
 
 Kind regards, 
 Håkon
