System: NetBSD chumby.dlib.vt.edu 2.0E NetBSD 2.0E (CHUMBY) #0: Tue May 11 12:02:59 EDT 2004 paul@chumby.dlib.vt.edu:/usr/obj/sys/arch/alpha/compile/CHUMBY alpha
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:

A system rebuild using recent -CURRENT sources (circa 2004-12-21)
fails on alpha building bootxx_ffs in
/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/stand/bootxx_ffs with a "MAXIMUM LOAD SIZE
EXCEEDED (7832 > 7680)" check failure message.

E-mail from Simon Burge suggests that a newer binutils adding a
section to bootxx_ffs causes bootxx_ffs to grow too large on alpha.

Below is the partial log of the failed build:

>How-To-Repeat:

Here's how I got the error:

cd /usr/src
./build.sh -D /home/netbsd tools kernel=CHUMBY distribution


The tools and kernel build completed successfully; the distribution
build did not.
