Ah, good, good! I dunno how it got like that, but your djgpp.lnk should
read:

-------------------------
OUTPUT_FORMAT("coff-go32")
ENTRY(start)
SECTIONS
{
  .text  0x1000+SIZEOF_HEADERS : {
    *(.text)
    etext  =  . ; _etext = .;
    sltext = . ;
    *(.ltxt)
    eltext = . ;
    . = ALIGN(0x200);
  }
  .data  ALIGN(0x200) : {
    djgpp_first_ctor = . ;
    *(.ctor)
    djgpp_last_ctor = . ;
    djgpp_first_dtor = . ;
    *(.dtor)
    djgpp_last_dtor = . ;
    *(.data)
     edata  =  . ; _edata = .;
    sldata = . ;
    *(.ldat)
    eldata = . ;
     . = ALIGN(0x200);
  }
  .bss  SIZEOF(.data) + ADDR(.data) :
  { 					
    *(.bss)
    *(COMMON)
     end = . ; _end = .;
     . = ALIGN(0x200);
  }
}
-------------------------

This explains why those symbols weren't found by the linker. The modified
djgpp.lnk contains special commands to place symbols around the locked
sections, so the locker can find 'em!

Right, I think it should work OK now!


Good Luck,
