Thanx. It seems to work now... I wonder if I can manage to get an ld with
elf32-i386 support
for binutils 2.10 ... I tried the one Alex suggested it didn't work unless I
used -mno-bnu210
flag, same error.

For now it works with -mno-bnu210, although the compiler gives a very
annoying message
about flag being depricated, although it doesn't bother me that much.

So is there a way to compile 2.10 binutils for DJGPP with elf support? (i'll
take a look at
the delorie docs page when I get back home.)
