From what I recall, CodeWarrior doesn't provide support (auto-magical
handling of inter-"segment" jumps) for a multi-segment Palm OS shared
library. You might be able to force it to work, with some tricks
similar to supporting A4-globals in a shared library, but I haven't
looked into it.
Another option is to implement your own support for code resources -
this is easiest if there are a few routines that wind up calling in
isolation a bunch of other code. In that case you could create
individual code resources (the resource type doesn't matter) with
single entry points for each of these higher-level functions -
locking the code & calling the routine is easy.
