This is due to a bug in the -N output of ld.  I've fixed this for
1.12, but there's currently no workaround unless you work up a custom
link script for ld.

The one that comes with it, of course.  That's what I use.

The go32/ed Makefile has the right switches.  Try removing the "-N"
(but leave in the -Txxxx).

If the unix you use supports COFF with underscores, it will just work.
Basically, you need a unix->djgpp cross-development environment.
