That sounds like a problem in the assembler or the code produced by gcc.

You could try building kaffe using gcc with -Os to optimize the 
generated assembler code for size, in case the file is too big for the 
assembler. Alternatievely, you could try splitting the C file
into smaller files, and compiling them separately.
