Are the objects the same size as the objects produced with Solaris 10 and SunStudio 12? Debugging information within the objects seems to account for a lot, and I think this information keeps getting bigger and bigger. >> Note that it is not my program that is larger than 4GB, but the LD process >> while linking. > > > I suspect that the 32-bit version of the linker is hitting the 4GB > wall and dying. > > Try using the 64-bit linker directly: > > /usr/ccs/bin/amd64/ld > or > /usr/ccs/bin/sparcv9/ld And, if the link-edit is being called from the compiler, then you have to convince the compiler to use an alternative link-editor. This can often come to the rescue: % LD_ALTEXEC=/usr/ccs/bin/amd64/ld CC ...... -- Rod.
