I think you're too unfair to gcc - it's true it takes more memory than pure c :) but simple hello world is compilable. Try to decrease harddisk cache to minimum and compile it in console, not under XaAES/N.AES. I coded even more complicated programs with 14 MB falcon in this way.Since this particular issue is a linker memory issue, there's one wayyou might be able to get around it.Yep, I saw this too. For example, linking the SDL library (libsdl.a 250Ko file) requires up to 10MB for ld.
