Brief Description of Problem:
-----------------------------
Porting C code to Alpha NT (already works on UNIX and NT on Intel)
receive linking error:
lnk2004 gprelativefixupoverflow; tls or sdatasection is too large
Their tls section was 198k
He says Alpha NT supports a max of 132k
he brought it all the way down to 12k, but still the error appears.
Any Ideas?

From decwet::visual, note 141:
Fixing the limitation of 32k required cooperative work with both the
GEM compiler back end (Digital) and the linker (Microsoft).
A workaround is to recode the application to use less __declspec
(thread) memory.
in VC++ 4.0 there is the /QAltls option which enables the compiler to
generate extra code to reference data in thread-local storage when its
size exceeds 32k. This enables large thread-local storage which
results in a moderate performance penalty on compiled code.
It was also mentioned that this switch did not work until VC++ V4.1 (so
it was recommended that the customer buy VC++ V4.0 and get the
VC40AALPHA patch from Microsoft support).
_________________________________________
Hung is using VC++ V4.1 so he should be all set. We agreed to close
this.
