The common reason you see this is if a single file compiles to a code
resource that is over (or close to) 32K. It has to do with static globals
I think. Solutions:
* One solution that seems to work sometimes (haven't investigated why) is
to take all of the globals that you have that are marked "static" and take
out the "static". This changes how the globals are allocated...
* Optimize your code. Look for places where you have extra code around and
take it out.
* If using the Handspring GCC tools, split your work into multiple files.
The current Handspring gcc tools support a single code segment of 64K, so
as long as you don't go over that, you're OK. Remember, each jump still
has to be under 32K in distance though!
* If using Palm's GCC tools, upgrade to the newest versions (2.0), then use
multi-segmenting. Haven't investigated this solution too much myself (just
a little), but it should solve your problems.
Oh yeah, and if you want to see the assembly, I believe you can use the
"-save-temps" flag.
Good luck!
