This flag was used when building 32-bit Windows executables, which we no-longer do, and is not accepted by the linker for any of the hosts we currently build for. i.e: ```bash checking whether the linker accepts -Wl,--large-address-aware... no ``` --large-address-aware If given, the appropriate bit in the "Characteristics" field of the COFF header is set to indicate that this executable supports virtual addresses greater than 2 gigabytes. This should be used in conjunction with the /3GB or /USERVA=value megabytes switch in the "[operating systems]" section of the BOOT .INI. Otherwise, this bit has no effect. [This option is specific to PE targeted ports of the linker] You can check that the appropriate bit in the COFF header of our current Windows binaries is still be set using dumpbin. i.e: ```powershell dumpbin /headers .\bitcoind.exe FILE HEADER VALUES <snip> 26 characteristics Executable Line numbers stripped Application can handle large (>2GB) addresses ```pull/764/head
