ld: gengenrtl: Not enough room for program headers

I got the above error message while bootstrapping gcc3.1 on:

uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.2.13-4mdk #1 Tue Sep 7 18:23:11 CEST 1999 i586 unknown

I configured with:

/mnt/scratch/download/gcc-3.1/gcc-3.1/configure
--prefix=/mnt/scratch/download/gcc-3.1/debug/install --enable-languages=c++,java
--enable-checking --enable-threads=posix

A more detailed copy of the error message follows:

Please, what should I do to work-around the problem?
 I've got a 32meg ram Dell Dimension XPS P200s.

Found an answer in search for "room program headers" in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-binutils/.
Sorry for the noise.

Hey Now  linux people,

I'm getting this error too. I checkout Larry Evens solution, found on a
red hat list but it did not explain how to correct the problem. Hey I'm
a newbe. I suppose I may have missed something. Any ideas?

Thanks
  Danny
