Turning off case checking when linking

[Neil Frank via gcc-help]

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your input but I found an option, -i, which turns off case sensitivity so I've made it past one problem but have a new one.  Seems I'm getting a message "m68k-motorola-coff-ld: link errors found, deleting executable 'system.abs'."  Anyway to turn on another option to detail the error causing this message?  It is proceeded by another message, "fake: relocation truncated to fit: DISP16 maovfsub."  
Again, any thoughts as I can't seem to find any solutions for this problem.  Yes, I'm compiling/linking for a 68k processor board.
Sincerely,Neil Frank(408) 464-5498

If the number of symbols involved is small, it might be possible to list
them as aliases somewhere.
