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

Hi Stelios,
Sorry. It's a suse 8.1 (quite old) with gcc 3.4-core compiled from source, at x86. ld --version gives 2.12.90.0.15 20020717 (SuSE)
The code I'm trying to compile is made with a code generator and it's indeed rather huge. It has thousands of functions in one huge file,several sections and with debugging data the final file is about 2MB. So it could indeed require much space for "program headers". The question is, custom ld script the only solution?
Not necessarily. You are using a very old version of the linker. If you update to the current release (v2.15) or even the current development sources, you may well find that the problem is resolved.
Cheers Nick
