Compiler is not saying anything (other then that the linker failed).

The linker says that it ran out of memory, and can not link your
executable.

If you are using the original Minix, there is probably not much
that can be done (IIRC, it was limited to 640K and ran in real mode).

If you are using Minix3, you should be able to use up to 4GB,
and it is possible that your libgcc.a is simply corrupt in some way,
triggering the error.
