You are right about that.  Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

What I did is using the following options:

-memb -meabi -msdata=eabi

After that the R_PPC_REL24 relocation was still there.  In addition to
that the R_PPC_EMB_SDA21 relocation was added.  So the relative
relocation is still there and things got even more complex... Did I do
something wrong here?

Thanks,
