Well I just took a look around the Squeak-list archives and came across
my old message from the Squeak 2.9 days...this is the error I was seeing
with GCC 2.95.1:

gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DUNIX 
-DSQ_LIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/squeak2.9a\" -I. -I../src/generated -I../src/unix 
 -c -o SoundCodecPlugin.o ../src/generated/SoundCodecPlugin.c
/tmp/ccFTDeUu.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccFTDeUu.s:1394: Error: Can not represent OFFSET_IMM8 relocation in this 
object file format (1)
/tmp/ccFTDeUu.s:1396: Error: Can not represent OFFSET_IMM8 relocation in this 
object file format (1)


Unfortunately, I found that using GCC 2.95.3 and up made the situation worse--
you wouldn't get this compile-time error, you'd just get a VM executable 
that would segfault on start. :(

The cure was to remove the '-O2'.
