Does anyone know what the following error message means?

Blink - Version 5.10

Error 502: __xcovf symbol - Distance for Reloc16 > 32768                        
  First Reference in Unit libi77.c at offset 0000000c in file 
    'work:f2c/libi77.lib'
  To Unit ucxovf at offset 00002810 in file 'LIB:lcnb.lib'

I compiled all files with -b0 and with and without -r0, but
I got this same error message each time.  I thought that -b0
would avoid this type of 15-16 bit addressing problem. Anyone
care to comment on this one?  PS, if you can supply the method
needed to get around this problem, we (Amiga owners) will have
the orignal Adventure and dungeon (ZORK I, II, and III all-in-one,
well almost! :-) on our favorite machine.  What a nightmare it
has been getting to this point (two days work),  I first had
to port f2c (These babies were written before people knew
what C was!), then convert the Fortran code to C...
