So what it sounds like to me is more-or-less "this is normally defined
on-the-fly automaticly, so it isn't neccessary for you to define it." But
DXE2GEN is apparently not allowing 'the linker' to define it. This is my
problem.

BTW: By 'the linker', do you mean gcc or really just ld? Because dxe2gen
*bypasses* gcc and gpp because it calls ld.exe directly. Any command options
that dxe2gen does not understand get passed on to ld.exe. Suggestion: Could
there be a direct ld.exe option that defines these symbols (or read
djgpp.djl )?

Been there tried that. I can't call up crt0.o manually. I get a dxe2gen
error:

$$dxe$$.o: linker output file has more than one section
