	There is no limit on the input source file size, but the PowerPC
GCC port is unable to handle far branches within a single function, while
IBM's compiler is able to handle this extreme case.  At link time, you
might get TOC overflow errors, but at compile/assembly time one will
receive branch displacement errors.
