Re: [Gcl-devel] Another failing build on EFUPXS: GCL 2.6.1 issue??

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

ppc relocs are 24bit by default, unless you compile with the
-mlong-calls (or some such), first supported on ppc in gcc-3.3.  The
configure script (at least on recent gcl, how recent I'm not sure),
should detect gcc-3.3 if present and add this option automatically.
Without it, loads on big images will lose.  Ran into this with the
acl2 book verifications, which are now known to work with -mlong-call.

Take care,
