I updated the top comment, is that what you need?

Is this available on all platforms? If not does it need a configure check?

What system are you building for? I don't see that problem on OSX or Fedora Linux. Looks to be an autotools problem.

it looks like your build system is setting those extra ldflags also.

The trouble is those look like CFLAGS, not LDFLAGS. That's how you pass linker options to gcc, but here we're invoking ld directly.

I think the state machine generation is exceeding 32 bit address space, maybe there is an option to ragel to use less memory when resolving the state machine.

I just pushed a commit which makes the ragel generated C file 9.7Mb rather than 160Mb. You should be able to compile it now.
