I have a memory problem when compiling from make:

	Not enough memory to run go32

I am using gcc 2.5.7, gnu make 3.69, and go32 1.11m2.
The system is minimal to say the least: a HP Omnibook 300 under DOS 5.0 with 2MB RAM
and 80 MB hard disk.
It reports 458K of free DOS memory. I think the problem is caused by the multiple copies 
of go32 in base memory: 1st for "make', 2nd for "gcc", 3rd for "cc1".
 
I have experienced similar problems when running nested make's on a system with >600K of free base memory.

Is there a solution for this problem? Are there newer versions of go32 that use less base memory? Could I use another make utility that can swap itself out of memory?
Any help would be appreciated!

			Thanks - Joep
