This is a known problem with ld. See section 8.18 of the DJGPP FAQ list
(available as v2/faq202b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP), it
offers a couple of work-arounds.
You might also consider upgrading to DJGPP v2.01, which comes with a
newer version of ld. I'm told that some (although not all) of such
problems go away with the new ld.

It does. The above is just a bug.

Are you sure it was not v1.11? The bug I'm talking about appeared in ld
from Binutils 2.5.2, and 1.12 uses the same Binutils as 2.0.
