  Known bug in 3.3 series vs MIPS.  You either need a more recent gcc or to
backport the fix at

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-06/msg01187.html

(Found from 

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22operation+combines+symbols+in+different+
segments%22+mipsel&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official

then following the thread starting at 

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2005-02/msg00644.html

and considering the possible gas-patch at 

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2005-02/msg00648.html

but it seems better to fix gcc by following Richard Sandiford's advice at

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2005-02/msg00702.html

which points to the thread at 

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-06/msg00970.html

which eventually ends up there.  Phew!)



    cheers,
