Bug#552314: Branch instructions still broken

Well, whatever was changed in the latest gcc makes gcc stop
complaining that a branch is out of range. However, the problem is NOT
fixed. Instead of the compiler aborting, it now creates broken object
code that will segfault on whatever code previously triggered this
behaviour. My work-around of using '-fPIC' to slightly alter the
program size still avoids the problem.
