Hello, I think this question belongs here and not on a general Unix mailing list, but I am not sure, so please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place. I am getting the error "relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_PLTREL24 against symbol ..." when using g++ to link about 2300 .o files into a single library, total size about 29MB, and -mlongcall does not help. Curiously, this only happens when listing the files explicitly. That is: This doesn't work (24-bit relocation error) >g++ -fPIC `<command to list object files>` However, this works correctly (!!!???) >echo `<the same command to list object files>` | xargs g++ -fPIC What is going on here?? Thank you for any insight. Mark
