> Is it possible to use GAS under DEC Unix to get around this problem?
Yes (gas has no limit on symbol length).
Unfortunately, gas on Digital Unix does not generate the exception
information which the Digital Unix linker expects, so you get linker
warnings when linking objects created by gas.
Even more unfortunately, Digital Unix uses ECOFF, and the gas ECOFF
support is closely derived from mips-tfile, and actually does have a
limit on symbol length, of 8K.
These problems can, of course, be fixed. However, until they have
been, I don't recommend using gas on Digital Unix. I don't know of
anybody working on them.
Ian
