Another time that the 4Meg limit needs to be raised is if you are trying to
lib or link anything of any size with SADE symbols on/full.  One way to
speed up links slightly is to use lib whenever possible for relatively
static sections of your code.  Libraries link much faster than standard
object files since lib has already resolved many things that the linker
would otherwise spend time on.
