I assume Test returns its int in eax?

Anyways it is quite likely being caused by the funky ld that comes with
RSX. Try replacing it with your normal binutils ld and see if the problem
goes away. If not, we'll have to see your assembler source.
Say you never said where the SIGSEGV happens, is it at link time, or at
runtime at the call to Test? If the latter, it might be indicative of
a problem with Test's handling of arguments (or the lack thereof) or the
stack, or of the return value. IIRC an asm routine in a DJGPP app
returning an int is expected to do so by leaving the int in eax, although
I can't see it crashing if you left garbage in eax, unless it uses eax as
a *pointer* to the return value instead or something similar.
