Subj: 	Weird message when relinking V4.0 vmunix

This is my first V4.0 vmunix relink from a sandbox.
I changed one object module, rebuilt it (which produced
a new std_kern.mod) and tried to relink the generic vmunix.

build GENERIC_relink
...
rm -f vmunix vmunix.sys
loading vmunix.sys
/usr/sde/osf1/build/v40supportos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/acc/ld:
GENERIC.mod: branch relocation out-of-range, bad object file produced, can't 
branch from 0xfffffc000024069c to 0xfffffc00006b032c
Relinking GENERIC with trampoline code
chmod 755 a.out
(null command)
mv a.out vmunix.sys
ln vmunix.sys vmunix; ln vmunix vmunix.GENERIC
Elapsed build time(hr:min:sec): 0:6:58 


Do you know what the error message means, and whether I need to worry
about it or not?  Did I do something wrong?
Does everyone get the message I got?

	Thanks,
	sergei

Yup, thats how it works when the kernel gets too fat (See Andrew Duane for a
more technical explanation) and welcome to the brave new world of 4.0.
