Wolfgang,

a request: Can you please use standard quoting rules? It makes no sense at all to include the whole previous message at the bottom of your posting.

Ok. I'm required to use a Windows tools which I haven't taken the time to fully configure. It seems that every now and them I set it up close to correct, and it will revert back.

...

I meant to be talking about the -Ttext option. If set to 0 or below some threshold it generates the wrong code. Above it gives the following compile errors.

I can't parse that. How can you set a text address "below" 0 ???

I did not state it correctly. Code compiles but bad code is generated when the text is configured below a certain address. When the code goes above that address, it doesn't compile and gives the below error.

I've been told that using -fpic instead of -fPIC will fix this, too, but I had no time yet to either verify this myself, nor to check for consequences on other systems (like PPC).

I was not aware of this. I will give it a try. Thanks.
