I just tried to compile kdegames-3.1 with gcc-3.2.1, and I hit this error:
./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x1c): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* ./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x20): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* ./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x24): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* ./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x28): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* ./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x2c): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* ./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x30): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* ./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x34): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* ./solver/.libs/libsolver.a(libsolver_la.all_cpp.o)(.rodata+0x38): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL32 *UND* collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [kmines] Error 1 So far, I've tried adding -fPIC and -Os to CFLAGS to see if it made any difference, but no luck. At this point, I can't tell if it's a GCC bug, or if it's just a hard limitation on alpha-linux gcc that kdegames just happened to hit (like the binary's static data region ended up too large to allow a successful link). And of course, I have no idea how to fix it... (Needless to say, kdegames builds fine on x86.) -- Kelledin "If a server crashes in a server farm and no one pings it, does it still cost four figures to fix?"
