Sorry, misinformation above. I tried again,
and "ld" from Cygwin does indeed work, it is
my custom ldwin (of an older version) that
does not.

Since I'm relying on someone else's Pascal
compiler anyway, there's no extra harm in
relying on their linker too, although I
would still have preferred "ldwin" to work.
