Re: "No room for program headers" strikes again

[Stelios Xanthakis]

Temporarily I solved the problem by compiling some
object files at -O1 or -Os.  But this will explode again
later.

Now, maybe a linker script will be better than one more
dependancy for the users. I'm just wondering why does it
hit the ld limits. Where the limits low in that version
or does the code generator make too much of something.


Thanks,

Stelios
