This happens with b17.1 version of the binaries on Windows 95.

When .o files are linked, ld puts out four symbols:

	__bss_start__
	__bss_end__
	__data_start__
	__data_end__

This is true even when "ld -r" is used.  Therefore if I do

	ld -r -o foo.o f1.o f2.o
	ld -r -o bar.o b1.o b2.o
	ld -o foobar foo.o bar.o

I'll get multiple definition error for these symbols.  Anyone knows
how to get around this problem, other than not to use "ld -r"?
