Workaround: Use a sufficiently large -fmax-array-constructor=<n>, e.g.

  -fmax-array-constructor=65536

(65536 = 256**2; default is 65535)


Side remark: It is not particularly efficient to use a huge static variable. If
you use PARAMETER (as in your example), that leads to huge .mod files and on
assignment to large code.

If you use a normal variable (with [implied] SAVE), a non-zero initializer will
be written as is into the assembler file, which makes the binary unnecessarily
large. For variables, using initialization at run time is the better choice for
large arrays. The best solution for PARAMETER depends on the purpose.
