One more problem is dxegen failure on gcc-3.0 compiled object files due to
.comment section (it misinterprets it as unresolved reference). In last
time I patched dxegen.c to workaround this problem (ignore .comment), but
I'm almost sure Eli would not like such patch

About Eli's initial question. How possible is some change in
binutils that would make linker script from current djdev incompatible
with binutils (I think it's unlikely ...)
