hpux11.00 linking - Data Linkage Table (+z) overflow

["Mads" <mki at maconomy dot dk>]

Hello,

using
	bash-2.05$ gcc -v
	Reading specs from /data/mk/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00/3.2/specs
	Configured with:
../configure --prefix=/data/mk/gcc --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gnu-as --
without-gnu-ld --disable-threads
	Thread model: single
	gcc version 3.2
	bash-2.05$

linking a big program using

	g++ -fPIC -Wl,+b/tmp/foo -Wl,+s ...

I get
	/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Data Linkage Table (+z) overflow in file
/data/mk/msgcc/OracleLib/libocic.a(oci.o) - use +Z option to recompile
	collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Linking with

	g++ -fPIC -Wl,+b/tmp/foo -Wl,+s -mminimal-toc ...

makes no change. According to ps no +W is used? Shouldn't that be used
automatically?


I know -fPIC and that it should help. But I've also found DPIC mentioned -
what is that about?


http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#hppa*-hp-hpux11 says that

	GNU binutils 2.13 or later is recommended with the 64-bit port. The HP
assembler is not supported.
	It is highly recommended that the GNU linker be used as well.

That is only true for 64-bit? For 32-bit HP ld _must_ be used?


TIA,

Mads
