When I am trying to compile/link a template instantiation File, I get the follwoing error. It takes very long time, something like 10-12 hours and results into

__gp does not cover short data segment

And it I refragment it in to different files, then I get the error as
gnu.linkonce relocation truncated to fit: PCREL21B


Any patches need to be installed, or Any help will be really appreciated. And also any info needed please let me know.

Thanks
