The C compiler on the 7300 apparently cannot handle stacks larger than 32K.
The following fragment illustrates the problem:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifdef	FIX
#define	SIZE	32767
#else
#define	SIZE	32768
#endif

f()
{
	char	array[SIZE];
	char	c;
/*
Assembler: foo.c
	aline 8 : displacement exceeds 16 bits
*/
	return (c);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this documented anywhere?  Is there some magic cc/as flag to enable 32-bit
displacements?
