How are you calling GCC? If directly from DOS's command line, or something
equivalent, you run into a 126-character command line limit. You have a few
options:
* Use a response file. Create a file (`filelist', in my example) containing
the names of all your object files, then do this:
gcc @filelist -o test.exe
* Call GCC from within another DJGPP program. `make' may be a good choice
for this.
