This means that your static data has exceeded 64K (actually static data
+ heap if DLL : static data + heap + stack if regular program).

You can use the /Gt compile switch to set a threshold for static data,
e.g. /Gt32 tells the compiler to create a new segment for each piece
of static data that is greater than 32 bytes.  You can play with the
/Gt switch to see what threshold amount works well for you.  Knowing
where and what your static data is will help you in this endeavor.

Then, you can use the /PACKDATA linker switch to tell the linker to
pack your segments back together.  It packs as many as it can into
64K.

As for the MAP file.  You can't get a MAP file until the whole thing
links.
