I would recommend checking my assumption that module size is a factor
by ifdef'ing a large chunk of LYMainLoop.c, to see if smaller compiles
succeed.  (It may indeed be a hardware problem - but I've also had reports
from a while back that the NeXT machines aren't usually configured with
a lot of memory, and dealing with this is a problem with older versions
of gcc).  If a smaller (e.g., half-size) compile succeeds, perhaps we
should consider restructing that module.
