mmm, looks like it is to me

actually the error has changed

old>/usr/bin/ld: tmp/objects/org/gnome/gtk/GtkWidget.o(.text+0xd70): cannot reach 000002d7_gtk_widget_translate_coordinates+0, recompile with -ffunction-sections
new>/usr/bin/ld: tmp/objects/org/gnome/gtk/GtkWidget.o(.text.Java_org_gnome_gtk_GtkWidget_gtk_1widget_1modify_1fg+0x14): cannot reach 0000042a_gtk_widget_modify_fg+0, recompile with -ffunction-sections

Which would seem to indicate that even with function sections used the sections are still too big.

However Java_org_gnome_gtk_GtkWidget_gtk_1widget_1modify_1fg looks like a pretty simple function to me* so I can't see how it would generate a huge section. Any HPPA experts got any idea what else the problem could be?

*checked on amd64 since I don't have access to a hppa system but I doubt the generator does anything different on different architectures.
