fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_WDISP30

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Sunil,

> Can somebody at least tell me what's wrong here? 

The linker is complaining that it cannot resolve some of the relocations 
in the object files it is combining together.  This means that it is 
unable to create a working executable and so it issues the error 
messages.  I cannot say exactly why it cannot resolve these relocations, 
that would require more investigation.

>>I am seeing this error with binutils 2.14

Binutils 2.15 has recently been released so you might like to try that.

What linker command line is producing this error message ?

It is possible that this is a bug in the linker when running on a 64-bit 
host.  Are you able to reproduce the problem in a small test case ?  If 
so you could post that and we could investigate further.  (Does the 
problem persist if you run the linker under Solaris running in 32-bit 
mode ?)
