Thanks a lot for the answer. I read that this object file was converted 
from Borland TASM object format to AOUT format by the EMXAOUT program. 

I will try to check more precisely that EMXAOUT is the cause, but if it 
was so I think it would be a good idea to say a word about this in the 
next release of the FAQ.
