I've got a driver routine written in assembly that I call with a 
c-program.  When I compile the program I get this error at the linking 
stage:

fake(.data+0x64): relocation truncated to fit: 16 .data
fake(.data+0x66): relocation truncated to fit: 16 .data
fake(.data+0x68): relocation truncated to fit: 16 .data
fake(.text+0xaeb): relocation truncated to fit: 16 params

I've tried recompiling my program with
        gcc -fno-common as well as the -fshared-data option
without any success.
I've also recompiled the assembly routine with
        as -R option
which reduces the errors down to just:

fake(.text+0xaeb): relocation truncated to fit: 16 params

I've also tried the link options -sort-common and -warn-common without 
success.  I've noticed that when the assembly program is compiled with a 
small c-routine, I encounter no problems.  The error occurs only when I 
attempt to compile a large program.  I think the problem's got to do 
with the bigger text and data sections.  Can anyone help me with this.  
Can you also give me the explanation as to why this error is occuring.

                                                Thanks in advance
