objdump reports four sections on src/emu387.o. This is what dxegen tries
to correct by putting together the line starting with "ld" above and
execute that line. Then it checks to see whether it was successful. It
wasn't, that's where the line starting with "Error:" above comes from.

Adding "-M" (as hinted) reveals this (the interesting part is last):
"Archive member included       because of file (symbol)

So where does this .eh_fram section come from?

Please tell me that.


Anywhere trying a lot of switches and reading ld's info pages didn't help;
at last I (desperately) added without knowing what i was doing this to
lib/dxe.ld (handmade diff):
    *(.bss)
+    *(.eh_fram)
    *(COMMON)

And loo and behold now I have only one section after dxegen has massaged
the file.

So is this the right thing? And what happens when you're compiling on a
non-DJGPP platform?
