Data segment...

So, why the difference?

I've got a program whose data segment fits in 64k (just barely.  It's
well above 32k).  I'm already using the -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti
options.  There is very little data to move into a database (it's all
C++ vtables).

How can I get it compiling with prc-tools?  Can I edit
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-palmos/2.95.3-kgpd/pilot.ld, and change
datares   : ORIGIN = 0x0, LENGTH = 32767
to
datares   : ORIGIN = 0x0, LENGTH = 65535
or will I need to do something more to get it working?
If it _is_ that simple, why hasn't it been done automatically?

Thanks,
Blake.
