I have a problem reported to me in ports/111165 about ksh93 not compiling on the sparc64 platform due to the linker reporting "relocation truncated to fit". This is an error I have never seen. I know for a fact that it is not strictly a sparc64 platform issue as I have seen reference to it in relation to amd64. However, I have never seen a resolution of the problem.I believe that this is a gcc issue.

How do I fix this? I cannot find any information in the Freebsd site about this mysterious error message. I know that ksh93 works on sparc64 because the ksh93 developers are working with Sun to install it as a default shell in Solaris 11. Therefore, it works with the Sun compiler. Why do I get this error on gcc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
