The compiler is indeed patched already, but you need to rebuild the
ObjC library (libobjc.a) with the patched compiler, and that wasn't
done for DJGPP v2.01.

Add -O2 to the compilation switches.  Without it, the compiler
generates too many debug references to source lines, and the COFF
format cannot handle more than 64K lines per module.

Say "make OBJC CFLAGS=-O2 and the problem should go away.
