Summary

0002060: ocamlc failing when linking very large object codes

Description

Full_Name: David Monniaux
Version: 3.07+2
OS: Linux
Submission from: basilic.ens.fr (129.199.99.48)

On one of our projects, ocamlc fails to link the object files if some very large
.cmo files (generated with -g) are linked in (the one that causes the problem is
36 Mb long).

The problem does not occur with ocamlopt or ocamlc without -g.

The very large file is generated from an automatically generated 1900 line
source code making numerous functor instanciations.
