We are using gcj/gcc-3.3 to run java programs on a mipsel-linux 
platform, and were able to work around GOT overflow error by hacking the 
  build to pass -xgot to gas.

After searching the web, it appeared that using binutils 2.14 or 
binutils-2.14.90.0.4 might enable multigot objects.  However it not 
clear to me if there is multigot support in these versions of binutils, 
or how to turn it on if there is.

Is there a multigot assembler/linker that can be used with gcc-3.3?

Or are we stuck with -xgot?

Thanks in advance,

David Daney
