Binutils on Atari MiNT

Hello guys,
I'm working on porting Binutils 2.16.1 to Atari MiNT, but I've run into
a roadblock. Apologies if this is the wrong list for this sort of
thing. Everything is basically done and works for most cases. We don't
have a working expect (pty issues) so we cannot yet run the testsuite.
The problem we have is that while compiling a certain part of gcc,
binutils consumes around 10MB of ram before it dies out with "Memory
exhausted". I have 256MB of physical RAM and over 200MB free. I don't
expect anyone to know the solution, but a pointer as to where to start
looking would be great. Our almost identical port of binutils 2.13(.12
I believe) doesn't exhibit such issues.
One thing I noticed that could be directly related is that we had to
change all instances of "rawsize" to "size" in prg-mint.c in order to
get it to compile at all, and I'm not 100% sure of the reason this
change works at all. I'm not well versed enough with the binutils
architecture I guess. Anyone have any pointers to where devs will need
to change rawsize because binutils changed internally?
Thanks,
