> Sorry to late feedback. I had been troubled by this issue for several weeks. At first, I also think it would one of variables overflow, according to the compiling error message. However, after investigation, no result came out. In fact, compiler will report the line number where the variable overflow is, if there was risk on the variable overflow. Yet, this compiling error did not report any line number. Finally, I didn’t realize that it would be the code section overflow until that compiling error message magically disappeared, one day I removed some functions in the tas2781-fwlib.c. So, I began to simplify some functions in the code.

I managed to reproduce the issue with the m68k cross-compiler from
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/13.2.0/

    | sound/soc/codecs/tas2781-fmwlib.c:779:            switch (block->type) {
            subq.l #1,%a0       |, tmp56
            moveq #36,%d0       |,
            cmp.l %a0,%d0       | tmp56,
            jcs .L122           |
            move.l %a0,%d0      | tmp56, tmp59
            add.l %d0,%d0       | tmp59
            move.w .L95(%pc,%d0.l),%d0  |, tmp60
    .L125:
    | sound/soc/codecs/tas2781-fmwlib.c:827:            switch (block->type) {
            jmp %pc@(2,%d0:w)   | tmp66
            .balignw 2,0x284c
    .L95:
            .word .L109-.L95
            .word .L113-.L95

            [...]

    | sound/soc/codecs/tas2781-fmwlib.c:827:            switch (block->type) {
            moveq #36,%d0       |,
            cmp.l %a0,%d0       | tmp77,
            jcs .L122           |
            move.l %a0,%d0      | tmp77,
            add.l %d0,%d0       |
            move.l %d0,%a0      |, tmp65
--->        move.w .L95(%pc,%a0.l),%d0  |, tmp66
            jra .L125           |

Looks like the compiler is sharing the jump table at L95 for two
different switch() statements, but the PC-relative offset to refer to
the table is too large when using -m68000.  It works fine with -m68020.

Probably a compiler bug?
