Checking more thoroughly the binutils package I use is the W2k patched 
2.14 one (which is considered beta).

Other than that, I did not linked in any other library nor did any other 
thing to have the (default) console emulate the ANSI driver.

What I have is the CONFIG.NT with 'device=%SystemRoot%\system32\ansi.sys'.
