[pups] Maximum PDP-11 executable size?

Hi,

I'm having problems compiling some large-ish programs on 2.11BSD, for example 
MH. Even when putting *everything* on overlays, I still get an error:

[ejb at styx] ~/mh-6.8.4.orig/uip > /bin/ld -i -X -o xforw /lib/crt0.o -Z forw.o 
-Z whatnowproc.o -Z whatnowsbr.o -Z sendsbr.o -Z annosbr.o -Z distsbr.o -Z 
../config/config.o -Z ../sbr/libmh.a -Z ../mts/libmts.a -Z ../zotnet/libzot.a 
-Z -lc -Z -lerrlst -Z ../config/version.o
ld: too big for type 431 (problem 2: tsize = 0, ovrnd = 8192, dtotal = 0)
[ejb at styx] ~/mh-6.8.4.orig/uip >

is there any way around this, or is MH just too big to fix on a PDP?
