I have experienced that the 8192 (umm, don't remember exactly, some
pretty low limit anyhow) wasn't enough for GTK+, and libtool started
to use some workaround, which then failed in a mysterious
way. Manually changing the limit to 20000 (for instance) helped. This
was on Win2k. If I remember correctly, CVS HEAD libtool earlier used
to arrive at a pretty high limit, over 20000, but then at some point
started to use the lower limit.
