I have set the optimization level to -O2 and tried to compile with
different settings: -fPIC / -fPIC -DPIC / -mrelax But I get always the
relocation truncated to fit error.
The errormessage is now a bit different than the first one I wrote:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I see two different .text locations, but i don't know why the compiler
has a problem here.

One or two month ago I was able to compile the same XServer (Version
1.4.1).
I even tried to use the old xserver_xorg-server.mk and patches, but that
didn't help too.
So since there isn't anything changed for the XServer, maybe there are
compiler/library or processor specific changes in Buildroot which cause
this error?
