Try setting the option for absolute calls. The problem you're encountering
stems from the compiler setting everything for PC-relative calls and Gnu 
BISON is simply too big an object for this to work even though the separate
functions may compile just fine. Don't nail me on it but I think that's the
-P option.

Best of luck.
