Hi James,

  I think that gtm does process the binaries before linking.  Certainly the
serenji.o binary cannot be linked on its own.  On the other hand, the linker
should not be aborting in situations like this.  Instead it should return an
error message and a suitable exit value.  So I have checked in a patch that
does just this.  With the patch applied I now get this message:

  a.out(.data): relocation ".data+0xffffff50 (type 32)" goes out of range

Still not perfect - it does not say why the reloc is out of range - but that is
about that best that the linker can do in this situation.

Cheers
  Nick
