I am running netbsd 1.5.2 on a DECsystem 5000/260.  I am trying to compile
harvest but am getting 'branch out of range' assembler messages.  There
was a message in the archives where it was reported that -mlong-calls
helps in some cases.  However, I am still getting the error...anyone else
have this problem or find a fix?  I am not sure that he means by hand
editing to get a jr in each place (see below).

Thanks

I'm compiling a C++ routine with a ton of cases and else/ifs, and the
assembler it generates causes this error when it comes to assembling.
It seems some of these errors can be fixed by compiling with -mlong-calls,
but since others are not jal instructions, but are j, beq and bne
instructions that doesn't work.

I'm using the compiler with 1.5.2

Is there a fix for this? At the moment I'm hand editing the assembler to
do a jr in each place, so I hope there's a better way.

Thanks,
