I didn't use linker scripts generated when building binutils-2.9.1 (and also later development snapshots). With djgpp.djl (from current CVS version of DJGPP) all worked Ok for me and I didn't want to change more than I need. > > The only problem that has shown up is the allegro build (I cannot get any of > them to make good exe files). Everything else I have done works just fine, > ie no crashing. I built Allegro-3.12 with gcc-2.95.1, almost current binutils snapshot and also almost current CVS version of DJGPP and all worked Ok. No crashes. Andris
