The branch target is out of range. The message "recompile with -ffunction-sections" is somewhat misleading in this case. -ffunction-sections won't work because GCC doesn't generate calls with instructions that would use a R_PARISC_PCREL12F relocation. This is some kind of conditional branch. Probably, it's in some kernel assembly code. You need to use nm, objdump and/or readelf to determine which file contributing to built-in.o contains the branch. I looked in one of my builds and didn't see this relocation. Dave -- J.
