While I can try to reproduce this myself by downloading the NVCC
compiler, etc., I would much prefer if you help "jump-start" my
understanding of the problem and possible solutions. And, to be
honest, I am just as clueless about what's going on as after your
first email. Specifically: what exactly exhausts this "global const
memory"? Is it the header sizes? Something specific in the headers?
Number of inclusions?

You say:

"Even with a fairly small schema of just a few bytes if you make
 repeated calls [...]"

What "calls" are you talking about? Calls to what exactly?

Then you say:

"[...] try and compile and link using a small schema repeatedly [...]"

This doesn't make any sense to me at all: does this memory somehow
persist over compile/link cycles? If so, can't you clear it before
each recompile?
