This is unlikely to work (as you reported in the section I did not quote).

If any routines are compiled large model, all routines must be compiled large
model or the linkages will not be correct.  In MSC, this would probably produce
an error message as both libraries SLIB.. and LLIB.. would be searched.

(I haven't tried it, but it's still wrong.)

You can, of course, explicitly declare everything you use in main as near.
