I think you'll have the same problems that you could experiment using command 
line: Memory and speed. But if you have enough memory and don't worry about 
speed it will be ok.
I use around 12 libraries in my editor.

RHIDE doesn't link anything, is ld so the limitations could be in ld. But I 
think the most important limitations will be in your system. I think the RAM 
is the most important.

makefiles will use ld too.

I think you can't incrementally link under DOS.

But I don't understand you. Why are you asking about potential problems that 
you don't have?
