This is a strange report because it doesn't happen elsewhere to my knowledge.
I've built C-Kermit 7.0 on AIX 4.1.3 through 4.3.3 without this error.
My first reply about increasing -qmaxmem wasn't right; it does not affect
this problem.
According to "man ld" on AIX 4.3:
Options (-bOptions)
...
bigtoc Generates extra code if the size of the table of contents (TOC)
is greater than 64KB. Extra code is needed for every reference to a
TOC symbol that cannot be addressed with a 16-bit offset. Because a
program containing generated code may have poor performance, you
should reduce the number of TOC entries needed by the program before
using this option. The default is the nobigtoc option.
...
nobigtoc Generates a severe error message if the size of the TOC is
greater than 64KB. If an output file is produced, it will not execute
correctly. This is the default.
Therefore, adding -bbigtoc should remove this error. However, the man page
is not crystal clear on the syntax. Is it "-bbigtoc" or "-bOptions:bigtoc"
or what? I tried both, and there were no complaints. But then again, I
can't reproduce the original problem on any AIX 4.1 platform I have access
to.
