All right, I think I can handle this question, but I'll assume some givens. This, if I'm interpreting it correctly, is not a FreeBSD problem. I am guessing that you are trying to use ld to construct a large file as a non-root user. As a non-root user, by default there are limits imposed in /etc/login.conf (man 5 login.conf) such as file size, CPU limit, memory limit, et cetera. Go root if you need more RAM -OR- learn how to use login.conf, make yourself a new class with less limits (edit xuser is my suggestion) and vipw to add yourself to that class (man 5 passwd, too). If that or su'ing root and trying it does not fix it, let me know.
