Ugh. In the .s file, it looks like this:

L31:
        moveq #1,d0
        cmpl d4,d0
        jne L105
        jbsr __nc_get_token,a1
        movel d0,d3

When I compile that file with optimization turned off, I get an endless 
stream of jsbr something,a1 errors; with -O2 it occurs just that one 
time... :(

Well, I used 2.8.1 with Linux/m68k on the Atari TT for some time, 
but then I didn't really compile much with it (Debian binary packages 
everywhere ;) ...).

It seems I should really go back to 2.7.2.3 for that target...

Thanks for your answer,

Alex.
