------- Comment #3 from eric dot weddington at atmel dot com 2008-02-22 04:02 ------- Can you try using linker relaxation?: -Wl,--relax
Linker relaxation is implemented in ld for the AVR port, even though the documentation doesn't say so. IIRC, tail call optimization is implemented in linker relaxation. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34790
