There's a program at SimTel which intercepts shell calls and pages almost
everything out so that you have much more memory available to the shell.
I've never tried it with a GO32 program, and since I don't use gnu make, I
can't easily test it.  If it works, it might help the out-of-memory problems
you get with recursive makes.
