I don't use GCC, but it looks like a relative offset problem. The 68000
can use absolute addressing, or a faster, inherently relocatable
relative addressing. The problem with relative addressing is that it is
limited to a 16-bit signed offset - ie, you can only branch to or call
code which is plus or minus 32K from the current instruction.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Subject: Overflow error - assembler?
I've been programming for the Palm successfully for over a year and this
is
the first time I've really gotten stumped. The problem is when I
compile
the program I'm working on I get like several hundred error messages
that
all look like the following.
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/cc001000.s:426: Error: Signed .word overflow; switch may
be
too
large; 32930 at 0x3ea
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/cc001000.s:462: Error: Signed .word overflow; switch may
be
too
large; 32942 at 0x442
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/cc001000.s:486: Error: Signed .word overflow; switch may
be
too
large; 32938 at 0x482
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/cc001000.s:524: Error: Signed .word overflow; switch may
be
too
large; 32938 at 0x4f0
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/cc001000.s:643: Error: Signed .word overflow; switch may
be
too
large; 32930 at 0x620
Can anyone shed any light? I'm not sure what code snippets would help
because it is not giving what I recognize as a line number I can relate
to.
The size of the source is around 360KB; compiled it's 54KB. I'm using
GCC to
compile.
