GCC/G++ AIX linker problem

["Richard Hann" <richard at excel-solutions dot co dot uk>]

GCC Version 2.95.1

IBM AIX  4.1.5

 

Command Line:

    g++ -g -Wall --unsigned-char -DUSE_DIRENT -DUNIX -DDISAM -DFFDECL -DUSCHAR

        -I/usr/mark/fred/5.30.excel -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/mark/disam/head main.cpp

               libbuses_elf.a libtimesheetsui_elf.a libtimesheets_elf.a libtimesheetstaticdataui_elf.a
        libtimesheetstaticdata_elf.a libbase_elf.a libevent_elf.a

        /usr/mark/fred/5.30.excel/libff_elf.a -lm -o buses

        /usr/mark/disam/code/libdisam.a /usr/local/lib/libexpect.a

        /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.0.a

 

I have a problem with GCC/G++ (GNU C/C++ compiler) linking a large

executable under AIX 4.1.5.  The error message returned is:

 

ld: 0711-781 ERROR: TOC overflow. TOC size: 112492   Maximum size 65536

collect2: ld returned 12 exit status

 

The IBM web page documents a similar bug report IX75823 and an appropriate

fix (PTF) U455193 which I have tried installing to no avail. Gnu suggests

using compiler flags -mminimal-toc which again do not seem to have any

effect.

 

Any ideas or possible work around would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. All the code compilers, links and runs under SCO Openserver 5
