Thanks for you help. I will try your patch, but it looks like I won't
get very far.

So, does it make sense to keep on trying to build a native gcc version
for m68k-amigaos / m68k-amigaoshunk and report my problems?

Or should I try to work on the handling of relative branches to external
references myself? I do not pretend that I totally understand what you
are saying. But I think I got the basic idea what is wrong. So, could
you give me some pointers to documentation about the Amiga hunk format
and the a.out format?

Or are there smaller and easier problems I could start with? I am only
an application programmer with some knowledge in C and M68k assembler
(at work I use only Java). So, I do not have much knowledge about
compilers :(

But I am willing to learn...

Best regards,
-Josef
