To see an interesting explosion, try the following.  Compile all the
pieces of f77pass1.  Either work in a copy of the makefile or set up
a shell variable (say $all) containing the list of files in $(OBJECTS)
in the makefile.  Do this:

	ld -r -X $all -o junk.o

This has created one a.out with all the object modules in it.  The -r
is to tell it we're not through yet, the -X is to strip trivia out of
the symbol table so later steps won't blow up on too many symbols.  Run
"size" on junk.o, noticing that text+data (forgetting bss) is over 16 bits.
Now:

	ld -X /lib/crt0.o -i junk.o -lc

This ought to yield f77pass1, right?  Wrong, it lists _main as undefined
and then explodes, giving an "internal error" message.  The fixed-up
loader supplied with VU Pascal explodes the same way.  The fixes don't go
far enough.

The problem is almost certainly a 16-bit overflow in a file offset, but
I've tried some obvious fixes and they don't help (at least, not enough),
and I lack the time to explore ld.c in detail just now.  Note that it shows
up only for monstrous INPUT files:  ld has no trouble building f77pass1
if the input is broken up into the usual pieces.  This makes the problem
a bit less important than it would be otherwise.
