The story: I have compiled a gcc crosscompiler hosted under Cygwin using Dan Kegel's Crosstool scripts. However, as my application is growing in size (number of .o files) I suddenly get the following fault message from collect2.exe when trying to link them all together: $ powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcj --main=foo.Main *.o C:\cygwin\opt\crosstool\powerpc-405-linux-gnu\gcc-3.4.0-glibc-2.2.5\libexec\gcc\powerpc-405-linux-gnu\3.4.0\collect2.exe (1740): *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0x40000 - 0x240000, Win32 error 487 There is roughly 600 .o files to link together. Andrew Haley from RedHat mentioned that "There's some magic in Win32 to extend the size of a stack segment" "I can't remember the command" Can anybody on this list help me out here?
