RE: Error when linking

["Emmanuel STAPF" <manu@stapf.org>]

Indeed my problem is supposed to be around 50MB in size and as you
guessed I can't make it smaller.

I looked at the mailing list archive but I could not find what I should
use to make `ld' link my object files. So if anyone as the solution do
not hesitate to share it.

Thanks,
Manu
