{standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:1517424: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000008000 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff) {standard input}:1517432: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000008004 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff) This does look wrong and PowerPC-specific, but it is difficult to analyse without seeing the actual instruction containing the out of range operand. Would you please create an intermediate assembly file and extract the instructions at those line numbers and let us know? The problem with those additional details can be reported as a GCC bug, see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html Thanks, David
