I tried -G4, -G2 and -G1 without any luck.  Even with -G1 there are still
more than 9300 relocation messages.  (Do I need to compile all the object
files again, by the way?  I've only tried to relink -- it takes 12 hours
to compile :-( ))

Unfortunately, my problem is with is a prorietary software product
(Opera web browser), so I can not send you any source or object files.
