Hi,
  I have built gld (binutils 2.3) as a cross linker that runs on a Sparc2 cross linking for an SGI.
I have run into a problem linking something large. The linking gives me no errors but
disassembling the output shows that relocation of my symbols goes wrong halfway through the
output. For instance where I have 

   jal some_symbol    

in an input object file, I now have
 
  jal 0x80000000      

   in the resulting image. This is clearly broken and it does seem to start
happening at a certain point in the output file (i.e. the first half of the output file seems OK)
If anyone has a clue as to what is going on here I would be most grateful
