I'm trying to compile Perl 5.6 using djgpp 2.03.
I ran the configure script okay, but problems is with the
Makefile. It stops after 11 or 12 levels of invoking a new make.
Each new level consumes around 40kByte.

E.g. running GNU make 3.77 under WinNT 4 (SP3) gives me this:
  make.exe[11]: Leaving directory `c:/temp/perl.560'
  for x in lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a  lib/auto/attrs/attrs.a lib/auto/B/B.a
   sh ext/util/make_ext clean $x MAKE=e:/djgpp/bin/make.exe ; \
  done
          Making  (clean)
  Load error: no DOS memory

Is there an easy way around this?
