Hi,
However, as my application is growing in size (number of .o files) I suddenly get the following fault message from collect2.exe when trying to link them all together:
$ powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcj --main=foo.Main *.o C:\cygwin\opt\crosstool\powerpc-405-linux-gnu\gcc-3.4.0-glibc-2.2.5\libexec\gcc\powerpc-405-linux-gnu\3.4.0\collect2.exe (1740): *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0x40000 - 0x240000, Win32 error 487 <REPEATED>
--stack <size> Set size of the initial stack ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Hum, these options are not available in my crosscompiler: $ powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcc -v --help 2>&1 | grep stack
You would need to add it to the CFLAGS when _building_ the crossbinutils linker rather than to the command line when _using_ it, so that the compiled crossversion of collect2 runs with a bigger stack. If indeed that is the underlying problem.
I suddenly ran into another problem today (after adding some more .o files) - bash reported that the argument line was too long. That is, the expansion of "*.o" was too large. Hence, I created a shell script that renamed all the .o files into incremental filenames: 1.o, 2.o, etc.
Then suddenly both problems vanished...
Weird?
Maybe the first problem was related to the fact that I almost ran into the "*.o" expansion-boundary?
BR, Martin
