Hello

I'm using debian/mips (sid) on an SGI Indy with 256 MB RAM.  It is as
far as I know up to date with the latest packages.

When I try to compile and link a huge C++ program using Qt and various
other libraries, I get strange error message like this during linking:

  libopera.a(registerdialog.o): In function
    `RegisterDialog::RegisterDialog(QWidget *, char const *, bool)':
  linux/ui/registerdialog.cpp(.text+0xd08): relocation truncated to
    fit: R_MIPS_GOT16 RegisterDialog virtual table
  libopera.a(registerdialog.o): In function
    `RegisterDialog::slotOk(void)':
  linux/ui/registerdialog.cpp(.text+0xdd8): relocation truncated to
    fit: R_MIPS_CALL16 RegisterWidget::verifySettings(void)
  libopera.a(registerdialog.o): In function `onceinalifetime(void)':
  regkey/regver.h(.text+0x10d8): relocation truncated to fit:
    R_MIPS_CALL16 regkey_init(void)

Is this a known problem, and is there anything I can do to fix it?
