Oh, and I see I said
You shouldn't need to change compilation options…
up there. As we discovered with "error: compress failed: buffer is empty" error from pdc in SDK 2.0 beta 2 - #22 by DanB91 it turns out you do need to add the -mword-relocations flag to your compile options (and it's now in the SDK's C_API/buildsupport/common.mk file) so that it doesn't generate any "split" addresses that our loader can't deal with. Support for that type of address load is something we could add in the future.. but I don't think it'd be worth the hassle.
