LoPresti) To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com Subject: B20.1 "reloc table overflow" problem Date: 26 Mar 1999 18:23:54 -0500 Message-ID: Lines: 27 I am getting the following error from as.exe as shipped with Cygwin B20.1: gcc -c -pipe -O2 -o gen/stdlib/debug-info.obj gen/stdlib/debug-info.c /Cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/i586-cygwin32/bin/as.exe: gen/stdlib/debug-info.obj: reloc overflow: 0x100fa > 0xffff gen/stdlib/debug-info.obj: File truncated {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:93068: FATAL: Can't close gen/stdlib/debug-info.obj : File truncated make: *** [gen/stdlib/debug-info.obj] Error 1 I gather this has something to do with my C file defining too many symbols. Unfortunately, the file is machine-generated, so it is not easy for me to change. Even without optimization, Microsoft's compiler and assembler have no trouble processing this file, so this is not a limitation of the binary format (unless Cygwin uses a different format, of course). I would be glad to make the C file available to anyone who wants to take a crack at debugging this problem (it is much too large to include here). Any workarounds or other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! - Pat -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
