He mentioned that if a branch target is out of range of a branch, the linker is supposed to create a trampoline to make the branch reach the target, but that our linker does not support this yet. This is the error that you are seeing. We have gotten two reports of this problem now, so we are starting to work on a solution. Since branches have 21 bits of displacement, and bundles are 16 bytes, you need a branch spanning more than +/- 16MB before you can see this problem. Jim
