The next version of DJGPP will most probably correct this problem.  In 
the meantime, just split the library into a few smaller ones.  There are 
commands that will cause `ar' to extract object files from the library, 
and then you could put them into another library and delete them from the 
original one.  Check out the docs of `ar' in the `binutils.inf' Info 
file.
