ld man page says:

       -G size
              Set the maximum size of objects to be optimized us-
              ing  the GP register to size under MIPS ECOFF.  Ig-
              nored for other object file formats.

Tried it anyway, doesn't seem to change anything.  (Gcc doesn't
like -G, had to feed it straight to ld.)  I assume -G 0 means "no limit"?
I also tried

       -split-by-file
              Similar to -split-by-reloc but creates a new output
              section for each input file.

which doesn't fix it either.

I suppose my next step is to remove as many optional features
as possible.
