Subject: GNU C with MSDOS/Desqview-X

Hello,
	I am using the GNU C compiler/linker to develop
X applications for use with Desqview/X under MSDOS. I can
create some small applications which compile and link 
successfully, but I have a problem with any application
of considerable size (> 200 lines). These latter mentioned
applications will compile and link successfully, but when I
try to run them, I get "segmentation violation errors at 
so and so address" from the MSDOS operating system. I have looked
through the GNU C documentation for any other switches I
should use for creating programs to run under MSDOS, but 
have not found any. This is the makefile I am using:

***************************
CFLAGS= -O -c -D MSDOS -DSHAPE
.c.o:
        gcc $(CFLAGS) $<

O = work.o

L = -lxaw -lxt -lxmu -lxext -lx -lsys -lc -lm

work : $(O)
    gcc -o work $(O) $(L)
    strip work
    aout2exe work
*****************************

	Has anybody been able to create and execute 
"big" X-Windows applications with GNU C to be used
with Desqview/X and MSDOS. I know that my source code 
is not the cause because I compiled and ran it on a SPARC 
successfully.
