    Problem Summary TSD4C.00092 This test may fail on implementations which do not support 4096 symbols in one source file.
    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations which do not support 4096
    symbols in one source file.

    This test tests the assertion that the C compiler shall support a
    minimum of 4095 external symbols *total*. The standard states
    that a minimum of 511 external symbols shall be supported *per*
    source file.

    The problem is that tp92 is putting 4095 externals in one source
    file and expecting this to succeed. We believe this is
    incorrect. You are only guaranteed 511 external symbols per
    source file.
    Test Output
    Assertion #92 (C): Support for at least 4095 total external symbols
    Expected zero exit status.
    Assertion Result: FAIL
