I am sorry, I can't answer your question as asked, because I went around
that problem...

But, I can tell you, what I did:
I compiled my programs with -c flag, linked with jloc(john fine's,
search altavista for +title:"john fine")
and get it.
and used nasm(netwide assembler, search altavista for that also) to
imitate the parts of libc I need,
because even the startup code is OS/BIOS dependendant.(at least I think
so)
