I do now :^)  Here is a tarball-let with a short script that will
demonstrate the problem on arm-wince-pe.  In this example the object
that ld dislikes is misc.o, which if from the Boehm garbage collector
(directory boehm-gc of the gcc-3.3 hierarchy) The output from the link
command is thus:
zetar% arm-wince-pe-ld -v -M crt0.o HelloWorld.o misc.o |&more

Nick, thanks a lot for thinking about this and replying.  Please let me
know if I can provide further info/assistance.
