Egcs 1.0 on HPPA still does not work with long offsets...

[Fons Rademakers]

Sorry will send bug to egcs-bugs in the future.

In the mean time, how am I supposed to use the -m options. Both for
-mlong-calls  (described in man page)
-mbig-switch  (not described)
I get the message:
cc1plus: Invalid option `big-switch'. Is it a link only option?

The file in question that generates the problem does not contain a
big switch. However, the file is fairly big (10000 loc), generated
by a code generator (links on all known Unix platforms with g++
without problems, needs +Z with native HP compiler).

Thanks for any help.

Cheers, Fons.
