This is a limitation of the COFF object file format. It can hold
only up to 0xffff line number entries in the debugging information
and the above shows you, that this limit reached.

Either compile some or all file with debugging information
disabled (with -g0 or without any -g) or do the final link
step by stripping the debugging information, for instance
the following should work:

make LDFLAGS=-s
