Large Common Blocks
-------------------

   On some older GNU/Linux systems, programs with common blocks larger
than 16MB cannot be linked without some kind of error message being
produced.

   This is a bug in older versions of `ld', fixed in more recent
versions of `binutils', such as version 2.6.
