Ok, and you've shown that sol2.h in GCC uses these directives for
ASM_LONG. But this isn't Linux.
Actually, it is even more confusing now, because things worked
perfectly fine under Linux previously as far as we know right?
It was emitting R_SPARC_32 and not R_SPARC_UA32.
I mean, I'll tool around in the gcc-3.0 and cvs binutils sources
to try and figure this out, but someone here can probably dig into
it more quickly than I at the moment.
