Bug#332902: numerix: FTBFS on hppa: cannot reach 00000040_caml_c_call+0, recompile with -ffunction-sections

[Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>]

Package: numerix
Version: 0.21-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package is failing to build on hppa with the following
error:
ocamlopt -I kernel/ocaml/o -o exemples/ocaml/pi-opt  nums.cmxa kernel/ocaml/o/numerix.cmxa exemples/ocaml/pi.ml
/usr/bin/ld: kernel/ocaml/o/numerix.a(numerix.o)(.text+0x40038): cannot reach 00000040_caml_c_call+0, recompile with -ffunction-sections
/usr/bin/ld: kernel/ocaml/o/numerix.a(numerix.o)(.text+0x40038): cannot handle R_PARISC_PCREL17F for caml_c_call
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value

It's generating the same failure with gcc-3.3

I've tried 0.19-5.1.1 too, and that didn't have any problem.
