This command line would produce an object file with the extension .EXE.
Trying to run this "EXE" would definately be a stupid idea.
Leave out the -c switch.

Same here - you use coff2exe to convert an object file to an exe??
You seem to be leaving out the linker stage. the -c switch tells the
compiler to only produce an .o file - without it, it automatically runs
the linker.

Sorry if I tell you nothing new, probably your problem is something
totally different, but what you say makes me think you're on the
wrong track :-)
