[Linux-ia64] relocation truncated to fit: PCREL21B __rtti_class

[Thomas Hiller]

iaxxsusr.o:/data/d022301/iaxxqeryif.hpp:175: relocation truncated to
fit:
PCREL21B __rtti_class
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 ...

What's the reason for this ? Is this a toolchain problem ? If yes, when
will it be fixed ?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

This is probably an out-of-range branch/call.  These are supposed to be
handled automatically by the toolchain, but currently, they work only if
you explicitly turn on linker relaxation.  You can do that with the gcc
option "-Wl,-relax".

If that doesn't solve the problem, then I would need more info.  Preferably
a testcase that I can use to reproduce the problem here.
