 One Gbyte is quite a lot memory...

 Not seen here at least with gcc-3.0.3/3.0.4 and 'sh-elf' or any other target.
And with Win2k...

 Does the same happen on any other Windoze ?  9x/NT4/2k ?  If it works OK
elsewhere, the problem lies in Mingw with XP...

 What are the Mingw-runtime and the GCC used in the host-compiler ?  Not that
I had ever seen or heard about your problem, but if it proves that the standard
Mingw-distribution packages will cause this...

 Where you did build the 'sh-elf' targeted cross-GCC?  What were the binutils
(for Win32-target) used to link the resulted 'sh-elf-gcc' ?  It is well known
that Windoze isn't the best place to build (the tools there could handle the
sources somehow wrong) and all GNU-binutils versions don't work for the Win32-
target. Under Linux you may have used some 'only for Linux'-binutils sources
for the Win32-target too...
