I know COFFs very well. Month ago I wrote a simple linker for COFF files
and it works perfectly. But it expects COFF with 3 standard sections
(".text", ".data" and ".bss") and it doesn't support more then one COFF
file at the moment. I found that output COFF can vary when I started to use
my linker.

But I run command line and batch file in the same(!) directory. Futhermore,
there are no any DJGPP scripts and such things in this directory. And I
don't change anything, I just run GCC first way then second way.
