potato binutils broken

[Eric Delaunay <delaunay@lix.polytechnique.fr>]

Hello,

  I'm trying to rebuild my sparc-utils package.  However it fails miserably in
compiling tilo due to a bug in as :((

make -C tilo-0.2/src
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tmp/TT/sparc-utils-1.3/tilo-0.2/src'
gcc  -O2 -E -o crt0.s crt0.S
*Initialization*:1: warning: `__SIZE_TYPE__' redefined
*Initialization*:1: warning: `__PTRDIFF_TYPE__' redefined
as -Av9 -o crt0.o crt0.s
crt0.S: Assembler messages:
crt0.S:90: Error: relocation overflow
make[1]: *** [crt0.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tmp/TT/sparc-utils-1.3/tilo-0.2/src'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

Line 90 from crt0.S is:
        sethi   0x400000, %l1

Note that this code is compiled well using slink binutils (2.9.1.0.19a-4).

I tried binutils 2.9.5.0.19-1 and the latest 2.9.5.0.22-1 to no avail :(

Any advice?
