The toolchain is built using crosstool 0.43 (plus modifications to get gcc
4.1.1). The target is sparc-unknown-linux-gnu (not sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu),
which seems correct.

I just found this post which is enlightening :
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2001-06/msg00115.html

I can confirm that the 010604 binutils snapshot is ok."

But if offsets are encoded on 32 bits, I don't see how it can become
unreachable. Unless it's a binutils bug..

I will try a different binutils version and keep you informed.

Here is the detail of arch/sparc/kernel/vmlinux.lds :

/* ld script to make SparcLinux kernel */
/* Align . to a 8 byte boundary equals to maximum function alignment. */
/* sched.text is aling to function alignment to secure we have same
 * address even at second ld pass when generating System.map */
/* spinlock.text is aling to function alignment to secure we have same

  /* DWARF debug sections.
