register-relative data section accesses?

[William Gatliff <gatliff@haulpak.com>]

Guys:

I have a need for register-relative data access, i.e. the data
equivalent to PC-relative code addressing.

I don't see right offhand the gcc switches to do this, although it seems
like something that GNU would support...


For example, when I do this:

        return foo_data;

then, rather than this:

        mov.l  _foo_data, d0

I need this:

        mov.l  12(a4), d0

[Note that I'm a bit rusty on my 68k asm.  I hope my intent is at least
clear, tho'.]

Any ideas?  I know the MRI 68k compiler can do this...

Thanks!

b.g.
