Direct unconditional branches, including procedure calls, can only reach +/- 32MB from the address of the branch on powerpc. So if the image grows to more than 32MB of text there is a problem unless the linker is smart enough to insert trampolines. I don't know whether GNU ld is that smart. I'm cc'ing Alan Modra who would know the answer to that.
