powerpc-elf-ld problem(solaris host)

[PIYUSH GUPTA]

Hello,

   I am making cross-compiler for host Sun Solaris 2.6
and target powerpc.

  I configured and compiled binutils-2.9.1 and
 gcc-2.95.2 as follows:-
 configure --target=powerpc-elf --program-transform=n
 
  configure --target=powerpc-elf --with-gnu-ld
--with-gnu-as

  Compiled libgcc.a using target header files.

 When linking ld gives the following problem :-
  (.txt 0x00fa...) Relocation truncated to fit:
   R_PPC_REL24 __tf13bad_exception

 It would be of much help if you could point out
the probable reasons for this problem.

 Thanking you for your time,

with regards,
Piyush

The error is that the linker is trying to construct an instruction
that has a PC relative offset constrained to 24 bits, and the offset
is larger than 24 bits. See if the PC at that point and the sumbol
__tf13bad_exception are more than 16Mb apart. If so, make them closer.
