Hi; I don't know whether this has been mentioned before, but I just had a bug report for NASM, which I am one of the maintainers of, relating to linking code assembled by NASM with the cygwin or mingw linkers.
I've done a little investigation, and have managed to rule out NASM as the source of the problem; I attach a .OBJ file which was created by MS Visual Studio. When examined with the tools supplied with Visual Studio, this object file contains a .BSS section of size 4; however, when viewed with 'objdump' under cygwin (GNU objdump 2.11.90), the BSS section has 0 size. Beyond these symptoms, I really cannot hazard a guess as to the cause - my knowledge of the BFD library on which I understand the cygwin tools depend is minimal to say the least. Hope this can be resolved easily though! Jules
