internal 14-bit linker address limit.

[Burt Reany]

I'm looking at evaluating a shared library that exceeds the 14-bit address limit internal to the H/P 11.0 ld linker (TRANSLATION: the test didn't work). The GNU Binutils linker doesn't seem to build in an hppa environment - and my DSL line seems to have problems getting me to newsgroups for a query. Are there any other likely avenues to finding a linker capable of handling such a shared library?

Thanx in advance.

Hi,

I advise you to verify that all objects
in the shared lib is compiled with +Z
(capital Z)
If you do not have control over how these
objects are compiled I know of no other
method than using odump on each object
to verify this.
