Well, finally I have got the problematic file and I have applied in its "Additional compiler options for the file" in "Package organizer", the options Wa,-mbig-obj -Os (both) for MinGW, and /bigobj for MSVC.

A relevant detail is that in MinGW it was useless to apply these options to the package, as in c++ argument list, the option order is more or less:
1. Package options
2. General options
3. File options

and -O0 (General option) would be after -Os (Package option), so the later would prevail.

Best regards
Iñaki
