  I am using a 11/73 running the as distributed GENERIC 2.11BSD system,
and I'd like to build a new kernel.  So far I've tried to duplicate the
GENERIC and NONET kernels using the configuration files distributed
(this is just as a test to make sure I have all the parts I need to
build my own customized kernel).  In each case everything compiles OK,
but the link fails with:

	ld: too big for type 431

  Could someone interpret this message for me ?

Thanks,
Bob
