   Is a LD or NEWLD feature or both? And what is the diff betwixt and between these two?
   Gordon.

Fixed in both by forcing alignment of the text segment.

LD is old and should not be needed anymore.

NEWLD has the feature of reporting filename and linenumber of
undefined external references.  It also has other facilities which are
undermined by most current UNIX assemblers.  Changed which I put into
LD have been merged into NEWLD, so both work equally well under GNU C++.
