Aha, I've had a similar problem. The problem seems to be the way that the
GNU binutils have been created for Linux. There was a package announced on
the 30th November 1993 to allow binaries to be built for DJGPP. You'll find
it on "sunsite.unc.edu" in "/pub/Linux/devel/msdos/go32crs.tgz". The only
important bits really are the the "go32-ld" and "go32-ar" binaries. There
are also instructions on how to build the binutils this way. Using these
and a Linux version of GCC 2.5.7, I've just built and tested the VSTA
kernel, and I didn't need the extra command line parameters.
So far it would seem that all that needs to be done is to modify the
makefiles.
Hope this helps,
