What happened?

When trying to build with Windows 10 after following buildInVsCode.md on WIndows, everything builds but the linking fails and throws an error.

What should happen instead?

Linking should work and building complete without error

Reproduction steps

On Windows 10 follow buildInVsCode.md and buildAndProgram.md.

I used cmake 3.19.4 and make 3.81, installed with mingw64 and gnuwin32 respectively.
When trying to build using make -j pinetime-app it builds to 100% and then fails on the following message.

c:/program files (x86)/gnu arm embedded toolchain/9 2020-q2-update/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/9.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld.exe: unrecognized option '--major-image-version'

make: *** [src/CMakeFiles/pinetime-app.dir/rule] Error 2

More details?

I tried to remove the argument in question and found, that ld.exe is called in CMakeList.txt:913. There doesn't seem to be an argument --major-image-version being passed to ld.exe.

When I try it in linux, everything works, although the counterpart to ld.exe doesn't accept and major-image-version argument either, even though it shows up on the man page.
