The usual method is called "relaxation".  You have the compiler, or 
assembler, generate the longest instruction sequence, ie one that is 
guaranteed to work no matter what the offset.  Then in the linker, once 
the actual offset is known, you "relax" the instruction sequence, 
replacing it with a smaller sequence, if that is viable.

Several ports do this.  Search for the string "relax" in the BFD sources.
