If the file size is a problem, this will only be fixed with large file
support (I think). But if not, I'm guessing your toolchain consists of
32-bit executables (you can check by looking at the task manager and
looking for gcc.exe*32 or as.exe*32 which would be gcc.exe or as.exe if
they were 64-bit).
My toolchains for 64-bit Windows are themselves built as 64-bit
executables, and my 32-bit to 64-bit toolchains are also linked with the
large-address-aware flag. You can find them here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/
These allow more memory to be allocated, and perhaps also larger files to
be addressed. If these don't "fix" the issue, I guess the large file
support in trunk mingw-w64 could affect this in a positive way.
Hope this helps,
Ruben
