Hi everyone. I'm trying to build my company's product under djgpp v2b4, 
and when I turn off optimization, I get a message from ld saying:

>c:/djv2b4/bin\ld.exe: final link failed: Memory exhausted

It is a large project, but I'm running on a 486DX/2-50 with 8Megs, using
386max v7.00 with a 10 meg virtual memory file. Do I need to send this
whole mess home to my trusty 386DX40 with 20Meg and about 500 Meg
available for swap? ;-) Or do I need to get the full djgpp v2 release
version to alleviate this? We would really like to use djgpp to do
in-house development of our unix based product line. 

Also, while I'm thinking about it, we also need a termio type interface, 
does anyone have even a partial one that can be used under v2?

As long as I keep thinking about this, are there any quirks about the 
lock() and/or _dos_lock() functions. SCO has a function called lockf() 
that I dummied up to get this to compile in the first place. Any help you 
can offer will be greatly appreciated.

One last question, (I promise.) (If I think of anymore I will post again 
;-) how many files can be physically open at one time under v2? Our 
database manager wants 50, so do I need to bump up a parameter somewhere 
and rebuild a library?

Any insights into any or all of these issues will be greatly appreciated.
E-mail replies are fine if people feel that this is not of general 
interest. Pointers to RTFM or RTFC are also appreciated with appropriate 
M or C references. I will summarize any info I get if requested.

Thanks again.
	-Greg
