Subject: Windows95: ld causes segmentation faults

Sorry for this repeat question, but I was trying to subscribe to
this list when I first asked about general protection faults--
unsuccessfully, it turns out, until now.

I've figured out that gcc works okay in my DOS box, but ld
causes a segmentation fault.  Usually the error message
actually calls it a general protection fault.

I have combed over mail archives at DJ's web page (and one
other place), and read the FAQ.  Does anyone have any quick
intuition about what could be the problem or the fix?

I have tried using the 16-bit real-mode version of GCC, and
I've tried such things as removing NOEMS from my call to EMM386.
The DOS box seems to have plenty of memory available to it;
go32 reports at least 16 MEG of DPMI and 60 meg of swap space.
Has anyone gotten 1.12M4 working under Windows95.

Should I get the V2 beta?  Is that more likely to work?
