I've got a program that, likely through a combination of use of

versions work well enough to compile my code, so at the moment
I'm in a spot where I literally can't debug on windows.
(And the program compiles and runs fine when I turn off adding
debug symbols, and also compiles with debug symbols on linux, so
I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything grievously wrong)
Is there any way to work around this issue on windows? Override
the limit, somehow get the compiler to mangle template
instantiations in a less verbose way?
Have you tried doing a 64-bit build (-m64)? I think the debug
format is different (a .pdb file will be created), so it might
not have that limitation.
