That might be the probelm, as you can see from the following list. Now
that I look at it, it seems way to small. Strangely enough I never got
any warnings when I unzipped the files. Perhaps part of the file was
lost while defragging the harddisk or so? Anyway, I'll reinstall the
archive and if it still doesn't work, I'll be back. Until then ;) and
thanks for the qualified help - one of the very few usable replies I
have received!

I do not think that these two count, as you can see:

I'll check that, too.

How do I do that? Can I pass --verbose to gcc or do I have to start ld
myself on all the object files? In that case I have to link in the
crt0.o, too, right? I'll try an see.
