[pups] 2BSD build problem - unix.o not too big

Steven, I'm building a 2.11BSD kernel on my 11/73 (so I can include the networking code and put my machine on the LAN!), and I'm seeing the error "too big for type 431". Through the wonders of Google, I saw your discussion of this error and followed your advice (from 1996!). However, when I ask 'size unix.o', I get a size comfortably within the limits for base - 50112, well below the 57344 you cite. None of the overlays exceeds 8192, and the 'total text' figure is well below your example, too. FWIW, I did a 'naive build' first, copying GENERIC and changing a few parameters; after seeing the error 'text segment too big' I went through the config file with a little more thought and eliminated drivers I clearly didn't need (I don't have RL01/02s, for instance). Then I started getting this error. I did a 'make clean' just to be sure, but still make gives me the 'too big for type 431' error. (Yes, I RTFM on ld.) I am standing here beside myself. :-) And I am humbly soliciting suggestions.... -- Ian PS: I'm at patch level 431, per the VERSION file.
