Comment (by jeremyhu@…):

 Yeah, that's a valid error emitted because the codebase is just so large.

 Essentially, it's complaining that some address it needs to relocate
 exceeds 24bits (ie it is larger than 16MiB) and thus cannot be placed in a
 24bit scattered
 relocation entry.

 Can you try using -Os instead of -O2? You may get lucky and squeeze it
 down just enough.

 Short of that, maybe:

 {{{
 platform powerpc {
     configure.args-append --disable-shared
 }
 }}}
