Re: [Scribia-dev] 68K build error

[Ben H. <bh...@sa...>]

Hmm. From google searches, sounds like this is an old CW68k 
bug/limitation which has never been fixed. And 68k compiler is no 
longer being updated.

The solution is to make the switch smaller.

If there is no way to make the swtich smaller, perhaps we could 
comment out on 68k- #ifdef TARGET_CPU_PPC - some of the less useful 
rules?

Basically, its a problem with the architecture of the compiler -- the
function being too large isn't detected until it tries to assemble the code
after its done semantic analysis, optimization, code generation, and
peephole optimization.  However, I still think its a bug, since it looks
like the compiler should be able to substitute one of the larger offset jump
instructions for the small, limited range one its using.
