Is it possible to change any parameter and rebuild the Dynix 2.1.1
kernel so that the 16MB user memory limit can be set to 256MB? We're
having some trouble with gcc getting a "virtual memory exhausted" error
when doing an optimized compile on some of it's large sources...

The machine is a Balance 8000, with 12 cpu:s and 10MB of memory.

Peter the limitation isn't with the OS it is with the NS32032 chipset
that is used in hte balance series.
