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,

Of course you do :). That bsc#1211853 I linked earlier. I.e. gcc-13 + -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 + -mcmodel=large + some asm() expecting __FILE__ to be constant (not true with the large model).
