Building large exceutables for powerpc


Hi,

when building large processes (text segment presumable more than 32M) for powerpc
(debian linux) we get a lot of errors:

....relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24

independend of the used gcc-2.9* compiler. The gcc-3.3 offers an option -mlongcall
to generate code without the +/-32M limitations, but the man also page states that 
this type of relaction errors should be handled by the linker (as already for 
ppc64 targets). Are there any plans to include this feature for ppc32 targets.

Or are there others ways to circumvent these problems.


Thanks
Rainer
