At the moment, it requires that the user manually specify -Wl,-relax. You might try using that option to see if your toolchain already has the patch applied. If not, then you can patch your toolchain, rebuild it, and this problem should go away. Eventually we will have better support for large programs. That may include changing some of the start up code to avoid some of the problems that you are seeing. Jim
