The DJGPP FAQ can help you.  Section 8.18 there explains that this sin't 
really a problem of exhausted memory, but rather a case of 
incompatibility between the linker and the format of the object files in 
that specific library.  The FAQ explains how to work around this problem.

(The DJGPP FAQ is available as v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get 
DJGPP.)
