With the recent update of bintils 2.24, the ar program (dated Dec 9 2013) is 
misbehaving. Comparing to what always has worked fine. In adding 137 
.o-files, it now stops at:

  e:\djgpp\bin/ar.exe: creating ../lib/libwatt.a
  e:\djgpp\bin/ar.exe: djgpp/getnet.o: Too many open files (EMFILE)

The command is as it has always been (in Watt-32):
 ar rs ../lib/libwatt.a djgpp/file1.o djgpp/file2.o  ..

Incidently I have "files = 30" in my %windir\system32\config.nt under
Win-XP and the djgpp/getnet.o is the 22n'd file 'ar' is trying to add to
the ../lib/libwatt.a.

Do I need to use a response-file now? How do I fix this? Juan, anyone?
