Subject: [9fans] Ghost in the linker?
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 1998 08:57:19 -0000

Before I dive where I've never been before, anyone know of any
limits on segment size in the linker?

Specifically I linked Ghostscript 5.10 last night (the changes are
minimal to make the standard release compile under APE), and
got a very large executable (?4.6mb) which page faulted at address 0.
8l gets to 40Mb during the link!

"file gs" returns "386 plan 9 boot image".

In the words of Lord Gnome "shurely shome mishtake".

Any suggestions appreciated.
