You need more free DOS memory.

Newer GO32 versions actually take *more* memory.  V2 solves this problem, but
it isn't ready yet.  If you are right on the edge, you might try 
"go32 \djgpp\bin\make.exe  args...", which would save the memory for the 
stub execution (or just binding GO32 instead, but this is a maintainence
nightmare).
