Why is that??  I've had this same problem when compiling stuff on a 3b1.  Like,
what exactly is it about the optimizer that's broke (I'm assuming that it's the
same problem).  The message I got on the 3b1 was [loop?] "branch label too far"
-- which I thought was pretty weird but I wrote it off to the 3b1's 68010 which
has loop instructions at the uP level.

Amused,
Jon
