<code>
void main(){
  version(err)
    static int[ 9150465] arr;
  else
    static int[ 9150464] arr;
}
</code>

yields a linker error when compiled with version=err.

So long!

Yes, it's a known bug in optlink that it fails with enormous static data
arrays. The workaround is to new them.

It is time to fix that: under Win64 the linker goes into an infinite loop.

There is another linker which fixes that here:

Walter has said his OPTLINK refuses to be changed, since it's a huge 
tool written all in handoptimized assembly.
