I'm afraid it is not : the trouble seems to come from linking a library 
called pmode.a. I looked at its code, and could not see any large static 
data array (or any significant amount of variables...).

I'll try to understand pmode.a and recompile it under djgpp... I can 
understand it is difficult, as it is some kind of protected mode manager, 
which may be hostile to djgpp, but I still can't figure out why the error 
should happen at link time...
