Re: [MinGW-dvlpr] Linking of large files

Hi All,

I'm at a bit of a loss on this one:

I've also tried '-Wl,-no-keep-memory' as well as doubling my swap
space to 4 GB, but ld is always failing with the same message:

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
out of memory allocating 28053504 bytes
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make: *** [..\..\lib\gcc_dll\wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll] Error 1

I'd really appreciate some help on getting past this error.  As I
mentioned, this works with the 4.4.0 release.

Thank you,

Chris
