I was wondering if it is possible to have the "ld" linker issue a
warning if the "end" of the data is > 0x801FFF00, so that if a program
is too big for memory (or we just made the start address too high) it
will warn us?

I ran into this problem when I was moving the big 400K buffer for the
STD0.VB sound file around, and until I looked at the mapfile, I was
going crazy trying to figure out why the program would die when loading
the image!
