I am running Xenix System V on an XT (really an AT&T 6300) and have a 
problem with ld.  Ld will load my program with no complaints but when
I execute it, it jumps into the middle of routines at random.  If
I load the program with cc, everything works correctly.  The problem
only occurs if I use ld directly.

Unfortunately, the program has more than 128 segments so I cannot use
cc directly (to test it, I used a smaller subset).  In other words,
I need to use the -S option of the loader.  Cc has no way of passing
this flag.

The load string looks like

	ld -Mm -S 256 stuff.o /lib/Mcrt0.o /lib/Mseg.o /lib/Mlibgraphics.a \
		/lib/Mlibisam.a /lib/Mlibtermcap.a /lib/Mlibx.a \
		/lib/Mlibm.a /lib/Mlibcfp.a /lib/Mlibc.a

This ld command works fine on the IBM-PC/AT.  I only have problems with
the XT.

Has anyone else seen this or any similar problems with ld?
