Hi there

I try to compile a dll that exports 17000+ symbols
during the creation of the .lib archive it creates those temporary .o files
but it
looks like it goes over the allowed number of files in the same directory or
somethings around thoses lines (the / tree is on an NTFS partition)
>dlltool -d wxmsw233.def -l libwxmsw233.dll.a
dlltool:  bfd_open failure while opening stub file : ds10732.o
>ls -l | wc -l
17041

gcc -shared generates a core dump in this particular case

Question : is there an easy work-around or should i build the .lib archive
by small blocks
i see there is an option for dltool to keep .o files but what about one that
deletes then after
addition to the archive ?
