The 68K GAS assembler is trying to assemble a jump table or a set of
relative jumps for a C switch statement, but the code for the switch is too
large, meaning that your relative jump is beyond the 32K limit that a
relative jump can reach. The .s file it mentioned is a temporary file
produced by GCC, which is then assembled by GAS into your object file.
The only way to fix this would be to recode the switch statement to have
less code -- moving sections to separate functions should help.
