[maemo-developers] unresolvable R_ARM_GOTOFF32 error

[From: Alan Chuang]

Dear all:
         I was trying to compile Mozilla (seamonkey), but encountered an
"unresolvable R_ARM_GOTOFF32" error:

This seems to be a linker error. I didn't have this issue with the gcc
compiler used in maemo 2.1 (scratchbox 0.9.8.8), but
the new compiler (cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm-1.0.5-i386) is giving me this error.
Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestion
to fix or bypass this issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alan Chuang
