This is most likely caused by a long linker line. You could use intermediate 
MergeObject* rules to shorten those lines. Also, since the paths to gcc and 
its objects + libs are usually absolute, locations with shorter paths would 
help, too. :-)

Yep, the status of the PPC port is still that. I wanted to get booting over 
network done first and now that networking is in a reasonable state, it is 
probably a good time to continue there. When I stopped, I got stuck with 
problems with the interrupt controller, though. 

CU, Ingo
