a couple of points to check:

* did you set dpmi memory to 65535 in the properties of the dos box you
are running? what information does running go32-v2 with no arguments
give you?

* you can use stubedit on ld.exe to increase its stack size, but i don't
think that is your problem.

* this could, of course, have something to with the limitations of the
COFF format. i don't remember exactly what the problem is, but IIRC,
stripping the object files of debug information prior to linking might
help.

i don't think this is relevant at all.
