Hello,

No more problem for me, it is assembling correctly all my real mode
stuff, and the linker is correct.
I have written previously, and I was wrong, this extract:

I did not understand then that sections (.code, .data) are now
aligned to 0x20 (i.e. 32 bytes) with the new linker - instead of
0x10 - and so my "out of section" gap was just an alignment stuff.
I hope to have this binutils in major distributions soon!
Thanks,
Etienne.
