Re: [avr-gcc-list] May avr-gcc emit EIJMP/EICALL?

Are you saying that I can't use avr-gcc WITHOUT using -relax on avr-ld? Then 
avr-gcc or directly avr-ld should at least warn about it, or even better, force 
it.

Nevertheless, I don't think that's a good idea. The linker relaxations are 
complex, involve several mutually not always related operations, and users may 
have reasons why they don't want to use them.

Actually, the *pointers* were given several times, e.g. in 
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=849597#849597 
;-)

There are two independent bugs.

One is, that the trampolines without relax are broken.

Second is a genuine -relax bug.

And I have already been preached by Joerg for not submitting it to the linker 
tracker, thank you. :-)

I did not realize that. I take the above back.
