linkers errors on DECstation 3100

[Paul Puglia]

I am trying to link a big program in C on a DECstation 3100
running Ultrix 3.1, however, no matter how I order the object
files  I keep getting an error from the linker which reads

jump relocation out-of-range, bad object file produced  

There is also some more info as to what address couldn't be jumped
to. The later information is not consistent between links, but the
functions which can't be jumped to are usually located in the
c run time library.  Could anybody give me some info as to what
this error is caused by and how to correct it.

Thanks in Advance
