The i386 PE format uses a 16 bit integer to represent the number of
relocations in a single section. This message is telling you that the
field overflowed: there are too many relocations in some section of
your input file. I think the only solution is to break up the file.
You could also try the -ffunction-sections gcc option; I don't know if
it works for the i386 PE target, though.
