Compiler Problem

[kingjx]

I have a user compling jikes using gcc c++ with the following error

This time the /usr/bin/ld program has hit a limit while compiling a C++ program.
Looks like some sort of Table Of Contents can only be 64K in size.

The output from the compile follows:

Any one know what limit has been reached ?

Is it a problem with gcc c++ compiler or O/S limitations

Not sure about the answer ... but you can try the folowing options with "ld" !

-Wl,-bbigtoc

This option was added with AIX 4.1.5 ... and there is a fix for AIX 4.3.2

TOC overflow applies to the number of exported and/or global symbols and/or TOC data symbols used by the application.
