My djgpp.lnk is derived from V2 (950527), with the ^M's stripped out
and "coff-go32" replaced with "coff-i386".  It works fine under Linux.
We also use ld from binutils-2.5.2.

Can you tell me what exactly you are typing, and how your tools were
configured?  Here's how I can compile "foo.c" into "foo":

i386-msdos-go32-gcc -o foo foo.c -Xlinker -T/usr/local/i386-msdos-go32/lib/djgpp.lnk

There's also a chance that ld doesn't work well on an Alpha as a
cross-linker.  You might want to try this on a Linux box first if you
haven't already.
