errors linking library in g77

[Bernard Yoo]

I'm using Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 on G4/2x800 PowerMacs.

I've been trying to use g77 to compile one of my programs.  It
does fine in compiling the source files but produces various
errors when trying to link in a library.

Both the programs and the library were compiled with
no compiler options (no optimization).

I've also compiled the same program with the same library
using the same compiler successfully on Red Hat Linux 7.2
on an AMD Athlon.

Here are the errors I'm getting on YDL:

I have no idea what the "rolacation truncated..." error is nor how
to fix it.

Can anybody help me with this?

TIA.
