The relocations are introduced by the assembler. You might check if the HP assembler can assemble sancov.s and see what type of relocations are used. You can run readelf on .o to see relocations. It looks like the problem is branches to weak functions. For example, br.call.sptk.many b0 = _Z16tree_class_checkPK9tree_node15tree_code_classPKciS4_# .section .gnu.linkonce.t._Z16tree_class_checkPK9tree_node15tree_code_classPKciS4_,"ax",@progbits .align 16 .weak _Z16tree_class_checkPK9tree_node15tree_code_classPKciS4_# .proc _Z16tree_class_checkPK9tree_node15tree_code_classPKciS4_# _Z16tree_class_checkPK9tree_node15tree_code_classPKciS4_: Probably, the error arises when the call resolves to an instance that's a long way away. I think we need to find out why 21-bit branch is being used.
