I am porting GCC version 1.35 to an Acorn R140 Unix workstation.
This is based on the Acorn Risc Machine (ARM) processor.

I have run up against a major difficulty. I need to tell the compiler
to put data into the data section of the assembler file and then
generate an indirect reference to it via a label positioned less
than 4096 bytes from the load instruction. This is due to the ARMs
limitation on addressing and immediate constants.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to achieve this? I would
appreciate any help as this is the major thing holding me up at
the moment.

Thanks

Doug Clinton

ps This is my first ever posting to Usenet so I hope I did everything
