need either to free some up or to use gcc-rm and/or non-GO32 make.

  Could GO32 be revised so it could run more than one Gnu C program at once?
I.e. if Gnu C program X calls Gnu C program Y, the (copy of GO32 that called
X) would also call Y. If Y is on an .EXE file that on examination proves to
start with its own copy of GO32.EXE, then X's copy of GO32 would ignore the
GO32.EXE part of Y.EXE and load the rest of it and run it.
  There would also seem to be a case for thoroughly searching and going over
GO32 to reduce its bulk as far as possible. 78810 bytes seems rather a lot.
