Can't compile if binary > ~4.5KB on ATTiny84

Its a problem with the compiler that affects all ATTiny8x's. There is fortunately a simple fix:

I've had the same problem and tried your fix, but it seems like the arduino IDE doesn't recognize the new ld file. I get an "error compiling" followed by "ld: warning: option -m is obsolete and being ignored
ld: file not found: avrX" where X is number dependant on which board I select.

Maybe this is me not knowing how macOS works. The ld file is of the type "document" whereas the old one was of the type "unix executable file". Could this somehow be the explanation and does anyone have a fix?

[TCWORLD]

Did you download the ld file, or the zip file?
Try this one:
https://github.com/TCWORLD/ATTinyCore/raw/master/PCREL%20Patch%20for%20GCC/MAC%20ld.zip
The file should be executable.

If not, you need to add that permission. If MacOS is anything like Linux in that regards, it will be something like this command in terminal:
chmod +x path\to\ld

Magic! The chmod +x command did the trick. Thanks a lot!

I believe this fix has since been incorporated into the Arduino software / AVR core, so I'm closing this. Please re-open if it's still an issue.
