IA64: it seems -G0 does not make any effect (to solve short data segment overflowed issue).

[Karel Gardas <karel.gardas@centrum.cz>]

Hello,

while trying to build ghc on IA64 debian 5.0.3 with gcc 4.3.2, the 
compilation fails on linker complaining about short data segment 
overflowed. I've found simple test case for this from 2001 here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=33354

When I tried proposed simple testcase in the bugreport above on my IA64 
machine I got `short data segment overflowed' issue even when tried with 
-G0 (both compiling and linking).

kgardas@Babe:/tmp$ ./genstring
kgardas@Babe:/tmp$ gcc -G0 -c main.c f*.c
kgardas@Babe:/tmp$ gcc -G0 -o main main.o f*.o
/usr/bin/ld: main: short data segment overflowed (0x400080 >= 0x400000)
/usr/bin/ld: can't relax section: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
kgardas@Babe:/tmp$

Shall I report this is a gcc debian specific bug? IMHO this should work 
well if it's claim to do in 2001 already.

Thanks,
Karel
