Percy, Use the -F option to increase the sack size.
Now can somebody answer this question:

What do you do when the stack and the data exceeds 64K?

I'm also using SCO Xenix but I'm using INFORMIX ESQL/C along with it.
Because of this I don't really have much control over the space allocated
for data.

I'm getting the following error message 

        "bin/ld: stack and data exceeds 64K"

My applications program is pretty big and I started out using -F 8000 and 
since then I've gone down to -F 2000.

I'm still getting the above error during linking .

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
