Is there any solution except stripping down?
Fixing romcc so it does not inline everything.
This sounds like it's going to be pretty complex
There are a lot of good reasons for keeping LinuxBIOS within 64K. The two top ones are to limit code bloat and because startup is very tricky if you don't fit into 64K.

One thing you can look at is to strip down the debugging messages from the romcc code. That has at times made a large difference.
I got it compiling now with a log level of 7, but unfortunately it doesnt produce much output with that: LinuxBIOS-1.1.4.0Fallback Mit Sep 10 15:13:38 CEST 2003 starting...

Looks like it at least attempts to reset when doing ht init ... I'll switch as much debug on as possible again now..
