Hello all,
One of my packages failed to build[0] on mips due to a bunch of linking errors like: ~ relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT16 <symbol>
Reading through -mips and -gcc archives I see this problem has surfaced for packages like mozilla and gcj. The general fix seems to be adding - -mxgot to the build flags, but some of the posts suggested that this is not always a good idea. The package is a game and doesn't produce any shared libraries, so I don't think breaking binary compatibility would be a problem(as I understand -mxgot may do).
Is -mxgot the appropriate fix here?
thanks, - -Mike
