I can't do anything useful without a testcase that I can use to reproduce the problem. The interactions here are complex, so pointing at lines of code or kernel config options doesn't give me any useful info. Relaxation can convert calls to a jal. I don't know of any open bugs in this area that can generate relocation errors. if it is a relaxation error then turning off relaxation should work around the problem as you suggested. A kernel build problem is serious. I think this is worth a bug report. FSF binutils or riscv-gnu-toolchain is fine. Jim
