OK, then let me fire off a really quick reply:

You've got more than 64K (0xffff) of debuggable source line numbers in
your program. The COFF debugging info format can't deal with that.
Possible workarounds:
1) Use option '-gstabs' instead of '-g' (and suitable versions of gcc
and binutils to allow using it). Stabs debug info does not have this
limitation. Drawback: debuggers other than GDB might have problems
understanding this type of debug info.
2) For a very short-term hack, compile some of your modules without
debugging infos. You're only a little bit beyond the barrier, so this
might help you over the time you need to get and install current
versions of gcc and binutils.
