I haven't tried it, but the error does look familiar. I think this is
the error you get when binaries get too many symbols. The TOC normally
fits in a single 16bit offset window. If your binary gets too big, it
can't use simple immediate offsets to access individual elements. I
haven't seen that in quite a while, so I had thought gcc was smarter
about it now. However, this sounds very similar. I'm sure that the
java stuff is very large, with an insane number of symbols in a
single library. There were command line options to gcc to make it
assume that it needed to handle these differently. Try adding
-mminimal-toc to the gcc command line for all the object files.
There are some other related options listed in the man page.
