[cc65] [ca65] Relative addressing across segments

Hello,

I just found out that a relative branch across segments does not work.
That is, the following does not compile:


        .segment "CODE1"
start:  lda #0
        jmp patch
patchback:
;         ..... some more code

        .segment "PATCH"
patch:  sta $dd01
        beq patchback


The assembler complains about the branch target out of range, although
this is not necessarily true. This depends upon the linker config.

I take this as a limitation in the object file format and/or the linker,
that is not able to handle these relative relocations. Am I right? Or
should it work?

If it is a limitation, are there plans to work on this?

Regards,
Spiro.
