Porting kaffe - Make error - relocation overflow

[Sivaramakrishnan KC]

Hi,

I am porting kaffe to a research architecture abacus( 32 bit RISC). I
am using gcc 2.95.3. I tried porting kaffe-1.1.8 and kaffe-1.0.7 and
encountered the same error during make.

What might be the problem?

That sounds like a problem in the assembler or the code produced by gcc.

You could try building kaffe using gcc with -Os to optimize the
generated assembler code for size, in case the file is too big for the
assembler. Alternatievely, you could try splitting the C file
into smaller files, and compiling them separately.
