State-Changed-Why:
    The problem in the assembler output is an instructions sequence
    like this on sparc:
    call	f,0
    add	%o7,(.LL100-.-4),%o7
    
    which is compiled by GNU as without a warning even if the result
    of .LL100-.-4 is larger than 4095, SUN as complains about the error though.
    However, I can't get gcc to produce such assemble code. I did a few tests
    with 3.3. and 2.95.3 but gcc always detected that the jump distance is
    more than what can be added to o7 with a single add instruction and
    replaced the add with a ``nop; b,a .LL100'' sequence.
    To debug this further we'll need a self contained testcase, i.e.
    preprocessed source (see -save-temps option, the .i file is what we're
    interested in). Due to the nature of the bug a single function (with
    everything it needs to compile!) will probably suffice as a useful testcase.
