-mcmodel=large doesn't work to me

[Wei Li]

Hi,

I am working on huge object files and I am glad to see that gcc
supports -mcmodel=large now. However, my experiment even doesn't work
because of relocation problem in crtbeginS.o

My Source file: t.c
#include <stdio.h>
extern int foo(int argc, char **argv);
void *pv1[1024]={(void*)foo,};
char aaaaa[2147483658] = {1, 2 };
char bbbbb[2147483658] = {2, 3 };
void *pv2[1024]={(void*)foo,};

int foo(int argc, char **argv)
{

    printf("%d", aaaaa[2147483657]);
    printf("%d", bbbbb[2147483657]);

    return 0;
}

Command line:
gcc -mcmodel=large -fPIC -shared t.c -o t.so

Error:
/gcc4.5.1/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.1/crtbeginS.o: In
function `__do_global_dtors_aux':
crtstuff.c:(.text+0x3): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32

Could someone help me figure out the problem? I am using RH5 64bit.

Thanks,
