[parisc-linux] Module Relocation Problem

I think I'm clearly out of my league here, since I honestly don't understand 
bve vs ble... :(

Anyway - I tried compiling the module with the "-mlong-calls" option - now I 
get a different error message upon trying to insert the module into the 
kernel:
	module quickcam: Unknown relocation: 10

Does that tell you anything? Because I have no clue...

Thanks so much for your help!
