My problem with the LD linker

[Marian Kechlibar]

So, why I originally asked about "gold" linker... I am experiencing
trouble with linking a huge project and I hoped that "gold" may get
me rid of this problem. But I reckon I might just ask about my original
problem, perhaps someone is going to help me.

The context: I have five projects for Symbian OS:

Killer
Cleaner
Server
Tester
Expert

I can compile and link them either using:

* ARMCC/ARMLINK 2.2
or
* GCC(E) 4.6.3 and Binutils 2.21 or 2.27.

The first option (ARM) produces usable binaries, but the compiler is
really old and does not support things such as framepointer.

The second option (GCC/Binutils) works for the first four projects, but
the link phase (using ld) fails for the fifth project, saying:

========================================================================
arm-none-symbianelf-ld:
\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1\epoc32\release\ARMV5\urel\EEXE.LIB(uc_exe_.o)(.text+0x2):
unresolvable R_ARM_THM_CALL relocation against symbol
`_ZN4User9InvariantEv@@euser{000a0000}[100039e5].dll'

arm-none-symbianelf-ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on
output
========================================================================

Now, this is not caused by omission of a library.
The symbol User::Invariant is contained in the system libraries
and is actually used within the project "Cleaner" as well. So the
complaint is strange.

I have a suspicion that the problem is in *size* of the resulting
binary. The "Expert" project is rather big, several times bigger
than the "Cleaner" project. But I do not understand ELF well enough
to remedy the problem.

Is it possible that some section of the resulting ELF file overflows?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
