Hmm... I didn't get that impression the first time around, but if so,
yeah, read the linker manual.  And don't use djgpp's linker - build a
cross-to-embedded toolchain, it will be happier :-)

Actually, current linkers might complain about overlapping sections
anyway, since they don't understand the concept of "segments" like the
CS/DS stuff.  I wouldn't be surprized if there were hidden gotchas
too.
