	We are doing a large project in C++ on Interactive Unix with
HCR/C++. We have came up against what evidently is a restriction in ld. It
aborts with the message "ld internal error: fatal: symbol table overflow".
I have tried the +e[01] options, but it only seems to make the problem 
worse. I can see some ways out this:

a) Get Interactive to raise the limit (or make it settable).
b) Use GNU.
c) Split it up in smaller modules.

a) only solves the problem on Interactive, and we have to port to some 
other Sys V boxes. For the same reason b) is not preferable either. So
I guess we have to do be, unless some genius comes up with another way.

Any takers?
