I've had this problem a few times.  Try invoking the optimizer
on your file.  The optimizer gets the assembly code before the
assembler does, recognizes that the branch is inappropriate
(or something, anyway) and generates an appropriate branch.
  The only problem is that the optimizer adds significant
time to the compilation process.
