GPREL32 link error...anyone know what this is?

I just tried to compile kdegames-3.1 with gcc-3.2.1, and I hit 
this error:

make[3]: *** [kmines] Error 1

So far, I've tried adding -fPIC and -Os to CFLAGS to see if it 
made any difference, but no luck.  At this point, I can't tell 
if it's a GCC bug, or if it's just a hard limitation on 
alpha-linux gcc that kdegames just happened to hit (like the 
binary's static data region ended up too large to allow a 
successful link).  And of course, I have no idea how to fix 
it...

(Needless to say, kdegames builds fine on x86.)
