Assembler errors

[Joost van der Weerden]

Hi,

I wrote a very large project for a Nios processor (Altera) When I build 
that project (compile, link and assemble) everything goes right the first 
times. When I add some more code to it and then try to assemble i'll get 
the following messages:

[nios]$ nb -cc -mmax-address=0x1fffff main.c.c

Sources:
      main.c

These are the lines which they refers to:

243:		pfx	%hi(ACQ_Resort_Functioning@h)
244:		movi	%g1, %lo(ACQ_Resort_Functioning@h)
245:		movhi	%g1, %xlo(ACQ_Resort_Functioning@h)
34811:	pfx	%hi(SYS_Load_Software_Mode@h)
34812:	movi	%o0, %lo(SYS_Load_Software_Mode@h)
34813:	movhi	%o0, %xlo(SYS_Load_Software_Mode@h)
42130:	pfx	%hi(ACQ_Resort_Functioning@h)
42131:	movi	%g1, %lo(ACQ_Resort_Functioning@h)
42132:	movhi	%g1, %xlo(ACQ_Resort_Functioning@h)


To build the project I use the following command line: "nios-build -cc 
-mmax-address=0x1FFFFF main.c"
nios-build is a script to compile, link and assemble with the options for 
nios. It also uses -O2 and -m32
When i remove some lines everything is ok. How can I bypass this 
problem?  I read something about that that they only can jump one Word far. 
Does someone knows more about this or have a solution?
