This was already the case with bnu2.5. After asking the list and
experimenting on it, I think this might not be a ld problem, but rather
an EXMAOUT problem.
Povray's _pmlite.o was a Tasm compiled file, which was translated from
.obj format using EXMAOUT. The linking problem might be because EXMAOUT
.o files are not exactly compatible with DJGPP. A way to know would be to
use another .obj->.o convertor, such as OBJ2COFF on _pmlite.obj an then
re-ar it and relink...
