I tried using rsxwdk2 with dj v2 and I got the same error.  I haven't
found a solution, but I can only think of 2 possible reasons for the
error.  libwin.a contains a massive amount of very small functions, so
maybe the linker uses alot of overhead per function which causes a
very large memory requirement to link.  the other possiblity is that
the library is just screwed.  i tried recompiling under v2 w/o
success.  I'd love to get v2 working with windows.
