Error linking under Cygwin: fork: can't reserve memory for stack XXX, Win32 error 487

Hi there,
I've ended up here after having rounded the gcc-irc-channel and the
crosscompiler mailing-list.
The story:
I have compiled a gcc crosscompiler hosted under Cygwin using Dan
Kegel's Crosstool scripts.
However, as my application is growing in size (number of .o files) I
suddenly get the following fault message from collect2.exe when trying
to link them all together:
$ powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcj --main=foo.Main *.o
C:\cygwin\opt\crosstool\powerpc-405-linux-gnu\gcc-3.4.0-glibc-2.2.5\libexec\gcc\powerpc-405-linux-gnu\3.4.0\collect2.exe
(1740): *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0x40000 - 0x240000,
Win32 error 487
<REPEATED>
There is roughly 600 .o files to link together.
Andrew Haley from RedHat mentioned that
"There's some magic in Win32 to extend the size of a stack segment"
"I can't remember the command"
Can anybody on this list help me out here?
BR,
Martin Egholm
