When compiling a program with the -O flag, I ran into a problem where
the assembler complained about branches in excess of 32K and suggested
using the "J" flag. Unfortunately,"cc" does not recognize this flag and
is therefore never passed to the assembler. I managed to simulate what
-O would really do (adding the pass through /lib/c2) and compile using
the -J option to the assembler stage and everything appears to work.
Perhaps cc should pass this flag to the assembler?
