Hi Pan,

test.c:(.text+0x64): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `memcpy'

80000628 T memcpy

Since .text section and memcpy are located in the same 256M region,
how the `relocation truncated to fit' linking error comes?

The R_MIPS_26 relocation is not PC-relative. Therefore it is trying to put the address of the memcpy symbol into a 26-bit wide field. Since the address is 0x80000628 the value will not fit and you get the error message above.

Cheers
  Nick
