The binutils that I have is from prep.ai.mit.edu and is
binutils-1.94-beta.tar.Z. This is probibly the reason that I am having some 
troubles. When I looked on the cygnus.com system I found a note that redirected
me to the binutils-1.94 file at GNU. 

On the other issue the text should start at 0x1020 and not 0x20. This is because
the first page of memory(4K,0x1000) is left unallocated forcing any referances
to it to  cause a page fault, so that null pointer referances will cause
a trapable error. 

I will be grabbing a copy of binutils-920602.tar.Z and trying to install that.
when (and if) I get it up and running I will post some mail.
