    In the software build tools for eclipse, right click your bsp project and select properties from the pop up menu. Select "Nios II BSP Properties" in the box on the left. Check Small C library and Reduced device drivers. Leave the other options unchecked. Click OK. You could also use the BSP editor.

    It looks different in the 16.0 version. It looks like they fixed the problem with clean. Just clean your BSP and application projects and build again.

    section `.text' will not fit in region - This indicates that your code is too big to fit in memory. Since it is on-chip ram, you are probably using the full C library that won't fit. You need to check the project options box to use the smaller C library. I don't remember the exact wording. You also need to delete the Debug and Release directories so the makefile will be regenerated. An ordinary clean won't do that.
