Error when linking

[Brad Boyer]

I suspect the problem is that you're trying to call functions that the
linker is putting farther apart than can be referenced in a 24 bit
offset, which is the largest branch offset allowed with that type
of call. Would your final program be bigger than 16M? Any branch with
an offset more than 16M can't fit in a normal ppc branch instruction.
If possible, you should make your program smaller, but if that isn't
feasible, I seem to remember someone mentioning a way to make the
linker do calls with absolute, 32 bit addresses. I just don't remember
how to do it, and the ld manpages aren't the best in the world for
architecture specific stuff. This came up once before on the mailing
list, so you might try to search the archives.
