Interesting. I thought gcc doesn't have problems here yet and was talking to Matz on Thu about it and it seems he's forgotten about his statement too that "you should simply stop using -mcmodel=large. Noone should use it." :-)

It may be so ingrained in my brain that I'm not _always_ saying it when talking about the large code model over a beer. And indeed I know of no particular problems with it vis GCC, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to use :-)

So once again: "everyone should simply stop using -mcmodel=large. Noone should use it."

So the patch goes strictly into the direction of betterment of the universe. :)

Ciao, Michael.
