  my previous project, we work in this way. OS is vxworks, complier is gcc.
  
  I just notice that tornado link every .o file with a linkscript file. so i analyzed the
  object file use objdump, i found that link with a linkscript has the uniform text section, 
  for example *.text *.bss ...  But my app.elf has many sections, *.text.a *.text.b ... 
  every function has a text section.
  
  I am trying to write a linkscript file to test if it is the problem.

if no '-mlong-call' option, function call only in +-24M address range, my board have 512M ram, dynamic do not work.
I reduce ram to 32M in linkscript file, '-mlong-call' is not need.

application has many c files, load every file is troublesome.

It is a way to solve my problem, thanks.
