It may be so ingrained in my brain that I'm not _always_ saying it when 
talking about the large code model over a beer.  And indeed I know of no 
particular problems with it vis GCC, but that doesn't mean it's a good 
idea to use :-)

So once again: "everyone should simply stop using -mcmodel=large.  Noone 
should use it."

So the patch goes strictly into the direction of betterment of the 
universe. :)


Ciao,
Michael.
