_GLOBAL_$F$

[Nik Ilijic]

I've recently started experimenting with GCC & associated tools with the
intent of replacing our existing SDS development system.

I'm working with gcc ver 2.95.3 on a linux box, compiling to an embedded
68360 target (m68k-coff target).  So far I have managed to compile & link my
project, but have come across a problem with the size of the binary.

the entire code (.text) and .data sections are about twice the size as I get
with the SDS toolset.  After examining the map file produced by the linker,
the biggest blowout seems to be in the data section and it is caused by
these _GLOBAL_$F$ references (see section of map file below).

What are these _GLOBAL_$F$'s and how do I get rid of them to reduce my
code/data size so that it fits into the rom & ram.

Thanks in advance,
