spiff on SCO Xenix 286

I tried building "spiff" (the recently posted almost-diff) on my SCO
Xenix 286 (v2.2.1) system, and after having to reduce K_MAXTOKENS from
50000 to 15000 because of the segment size restriction on 80286 boxes,
everything worked until the load phase, when I got

/bin/ld: fatal error: common area longer than 65536 bytes

Okay, who's the culprit? What declarations in what files are so
big that there's over 64K of common space? (Author could answer this
best... I hope he sees this).

Anyway, has anyone else got spiff running on SCO 286 ?
