>Aha! The error is in crtbeginS.o. This is important: it is not one of the files you compiled. Therefore, no matter what you do with -mlongcall", it won't help. It may be that recompiling crtbeginS.o with -mlongcall" would help, but we'd need a PPC export to confirm that. Out of the question... :( can't recompile any system stuff. >It may be easier simply to split the shared library. Also out of the question I am afraid. Has to be one lib. Well, the thing is, there is one particular order of the .o files, that seems to work. It's just that, I am using a different order. I don't want to use that other order, besides, it's like hit-and-miss, one day (perhaps tomorrow), someone will add another object and it won't work any more. It's a pain, huge pain, for me to use that other order. But I guess I won't have a choice.
