(a) other lists? (b) ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output



I just recently dusted off my Dreamcast.  I've got two questions.

I've mostly been writing my own code (in assembly) to run on the bare
metal.  This leads to my first question: I have a problem with a
graphics program.  But, since it has nothing to do with NetBSD, this
isn't an appropriate place to ask questions about it.  Anyone know of
any lists which would be better?

As for my other question, a few days back I got code working to pull
data over the BBA (yes, I'm lucky enough to have a BBA).  This meant
that booting NetBSD was a matter of seconds instead of the 30-45
minutes it takes to trickle it over the serial line (rather than
burning each new program to a CD, I have a CD that puts a rudimentary
monitor on the serial port and have been downloading code to that).  So
I've got NetBSD booted and running diskless and am trying to bring it
into the fold, as it were, to set up my various tools on it.

Now, it's 4.0.1 that I'm trying to run, so if you don't recall anything
that far back, please feel free to skip the rest of this message.

Okay, for those still reading :-), I ran into an issue.  Trying to link
one program (an old version of xterm), I got

ld: xterm: hidden symbol `__udivsi3' in /usr/lib/libgcc.a(_udivsi3.o) is referenced by DSO
ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output

Now, I don't much care about xterm per se - the only reason for even
attempting the link is that it's part of the build script I use.  But
this looks like something I should understand before it bites me in a
program I _do_ care about.  Any thoughts?
