Re: arm-elf-ld: problems with long calls in thumb mode

Hello,

I encountered the problem before and Nick was kind enough to direct me 
to an experimental patch (which worked for me at the time). This 
involves patching and rebuilding gcc. YMMV as this is quite old but this 
may work.

Here is the corresponding binutils discussion (some time has passed 
obviously, Richard was still working for ARM :)

HTH,

Vincent
