Hi folks,

I posted a question about using DJGPP to build for standalone binaries
: there is no operating system. Binary put into an EPROM for embedded
x86 system.

Some of the answers (thanks to those who responded) indicated that I
needed to modify ld (the linker).

After looking at the a.out file, I noticed that there is a huge go32
stub. Now, this is what I DONT'T want. Since the system will have no
OS, there's no DPMI driver or what ever. The system will already be in
some sort of 32-bit mode, so all I would like is that the first
instruction be in location 0 of the binary file and so on.

So what can I do to ld or the linker scripts to NOT pull in the go32
stuff?

Thanks!

Ben
