I have a problem reported to me in ports/111165 about ksh93 not 
compiling on the sparc64 platform due to the linker reporting 
"relocation truncated to fit".  This is an error I have never seen.  I 
know for a fact that it is not strictly a sparc64 platform issue as I 
have seen reference to it in relation to amd64.  However, I have never 
seen a resolution of the problem.I believe that this is a gcc issue.

How do I fix this?  I cannot find any information in the Freebsd site 
about this mysterious error message.  I know that ksh93 works on sparc64 
because the ksh93 developers are working with Sun to install it as a 
default shell in Solaris 11.  Therefore, it works with the Sun 
compiler.  Why do I get this error on gcc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

/Joe
