Hello all,thought maybe I should advise of a possible bug in the file ld.exe
that one has to copy from rsxntdj to the bin directory of djgpp along with the
file ldmain.dif,I had ocassion to recompile allegro after installing rsxntdj
and when it came to processing the file asmdef.c i recieved the following

gcc -I. -Isrc -Wall -m486 -O3 -s -o obj/asmdef.exe src/asmdef.c
d:/djgpp/lib\crt0.o(.text+0x10b4):crt0.s: reloc refers to symbol `text' which
is not being output
d:/djgpp/lib\crt0.o(.text+0x10d2):crt0.s: reloc refers to symbol `data' which
is not being output...
 and so on...reloc refers to symbol `bss' which is not  being output
The files preceeding this compiled fine.by replacing the it with the ld.exe
original,alls ok,so it may pay those using rsxntdj to take note unless there
are switches in gcc to allow this to compile as per the original ld.exe.
I don't know if this could cause errors with any other programs using that
ld exe,it may be because of the nature of the asmdef.c file that causes it,as
I have compiled other programs and had no adverse problems using the ld.exe
file from rsxntdj.
