At Debian, we experience problems with the native code compiler on
HPPA. The compiler generates invalid assembler input which includes
displacements that are beyond the capabilities of this architecture.
For example, when compiling a large module, a BL instruction is
emitted which branches to a global label which is more than 64K
instructions away from the start of the text section in that object
file (which apparently cannot be expressed in an ELF relocation; a
relocation is needed to implement the ELF linking semantics).
Is there something one can tweak in the compiler to work around this
problem?
