What about DOS memory?  How much free RAM do you have under 1MB mark at 
the point where ld.exe is invoked?  (One way of testing this would be to 
have a program that reports memory renamed to ld.exe, then run Make.)

Also, is your ld.exe (or Make, or Gcc) stub-edited to 64KB transfer 
buffer?  If so, try stub-editing them to 16KB and see if that helps.
