This is an auto-filled bug because dev-db/mysql-connector-c fails to compile on ia64. Feel free to adjust the summary to clarify the exact issue. Attached build log and emerge --info

I wonder if it could use GPREL64. It's an overflow in short relocations within code section. ia64 assumes 22 bit offsets within code section will be enough as a default (with 128-bit instruction alignment, which gives 4 more addressable bits). I believe that translates to 64MB .text section per module (executable or library) if you are lucky (usually it +/-32MB offsets). The error usually means the executable is too large to be linked without pessimizing generated code into using wider offsets. My guess is that crtstartupS.o makes a reasonable 64MB assumption and fails. Don't know if there are simple ways to decrease .text section size aside from trying -O1/-Os. Let's see how easy it is to tweak crtstartup.S.
