Package: gcc-4.4
Version: 4.4.4-6
Severity: wishlist

Because the ELF ABI for hppa requires relative jumps which are limited
to 17 bits[0], programs frequently require the use of
-ffunction-sections.  It would be preferable if (on hppa or otherwise)
-ffunction-sections were implied by -fPIC when otherwise gcc would
generate text sections that are too large.  After all, there's really no
reason to generate .o files that are, for all practical purposes,
useless.  It would also make numerous package maintainers and hppa
porters very happy, I suspect.
