Well strangely enough, it gets back to the DOS prompt, but creates no
object module and no additional output.  However when I omit the -O2
option it compiles successfully.

go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH
 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.

About 900mb.
