🚀 go-pugleaf

	I have the following problem:

	I have to port a very large program from SCO XENIX/386 Rel. 2.3.3 to
	SCO XENIX/286. As we don't have the right development system in-
	stalled on the target (=286) machine, we do a cross compilation
	on the 386 system.

	With size of the program (1.5 MByte incl. debug information) the
	compilation with the '-Zi -Od -Ml2 -Gt10' results in a runtime
	stack overflow.

	By enlarging the stack with '-F3000' the program wouldn't abort
	but would produce wrong screen output and results. I think that's
	still a stack size problem, but I can't enlarge stack size any 
	more without overflowing the default data segment.

	Another try was to put the stack into an extra segment with the
	flags '-Zi -Od -Ml -M2 -Au -ND GLOB_DAT -F 4000'. Now the program
	would hang up at the first malloc call (see below).

	Using the flags '-Zi -Od -Ml -M2 -Mt1' would result in further 
	problems. Now the linker has not enough memory for the segments.
	I could overcome this problem using the link option '-SE 1024'.
	Result: the program would hang even earlier at the 'access' call
	(see below).

	Does anybody know a solution? How can I manage to move the stack
	into another segment than the default data segment?

	Thanks in advance for any help
