That has nothing to do with GCC, it's up to the linker and OS. I know the Solaris linker used to have a limit of 1GB for 32-bit executables but I think that's been increased. In any case, a 1GB executable is much larger than most people will ever create. > How about the *.O files?

I doubt that will make any difference.
