:You need to add -O2 to the compilation switches.  The problem is that 
:COFF object format only supports 64K source lines per program, but when 
:you compile without -O2, you get more lines than that.
:Just add "CFLAGS=-O2" to whatever command line you pass to Make when you 
:compile gcc.

Thanks, that seemed to work.  But this raises some other questions...
1)  Replacing the -g with -O2 causes optimization and no debug information
generated.
Does this mean the libraries were built without debug information?  Will I
not be able to 
step into the library routines?

2) There was a plethora of EXEs generated in addition to cc1.exe - what
files need to be
moved into the bin directory, lib directory, etc?

An interesting observation is that while I was building gcc, I received
mail via M$ Internet
Mail and it caused the compiler to crash!?!  I restarted it and all seemed
fine...

Thanks for your help :)   MST
