Hi, The gcc-2.95.x seems to be the last GCC version that have usable support for small data sections (.sdata & .sdata2) on PowerPC, see PRs 9571, 17337(resolved), and finally 21571.
As my embedded project heavily relies on the advantages of using small data sections, it makes it impossible for me to switch to a newer gcc version. Each time I try, the result is yet another PR. I'd like to invest some of my time to investigate the problem in more details to try to resolve the issue. The first thing I'd like to get some advice on is which codebase do I use, gcc-4_0-branch? In addition, any comments, thoughts, and info about current status would be greatly appreciated. -- Sergei.
