Subject:	compiling povray 3.0 with djgpp

I tried to compile POVRAY 3.0 (as of 96/7/15) with djgpp.

1/ Djgpp 1.1 : no way ! it chokes on MSDOSVID.C, something with the 
parameters of function matherr() [pov wants a struct exception *, which 
gcc seems to dislike] (and I always thought mather() was a pretty 
standard function...)

2/ Djgpp 2.0 : I can get all *.c into *.o, but djgpp dies on linking with 
a "pmode.a : could not read symbols : Memory exhausted".
Now, the FAQ tells about a gnu-binutil bug, which just dies this way when 
linking *large* libraries, but pmode.a is only 49K.

Has anyone encountered this problem ?
