A) 4.3 is dead and out of service. Time to move on.
B) I don't think so, but I haven't touched 4.3 for a few years
now. I know that 5.x allows you to set the env size (for
every process) up to .5 MB. The fast path is smitty chgsys;
you can check on your system, where it would be labeled
"ARG/ENV list size in 4K byte blocks"
C) You're going to have to do something to get around the limit,
whether you like it or not. Another option is to build a list
of object files and use the -f linker option. Or incrementally
link some of the object code using ld -r.
