Hello!

I have detected a strange thing when the DJGPP's ld's linker is linking.
I debugged my code using the "debug" program that is included in DOS. It
looked like this:

instruction addr. note
CALL 06FE         535           a call to a function
...
JBE 700               6FE           here is a strange conditional jump
PUSH BP             700           here starts the function

When I run my program, it seems that it never calls these functions,
maybe because the condition BE (in JBE) isn't true. Why does the linker
link like this and how do I set it to not link in this way?
