I'm using the 1.1 go32v2 version of December 11th

I get a link error " bad reloc address 0x14 in section '.stab'

Won't link anything, even a simple begin end pair.

Do I need a new linker ? new RTL?? a witch ???

This is due to a bug in the binary writer (probably). Try using -Aas to use the AT&T writer. If that doesn't help, it means the bad object code is generated for the RTL and you'll either need a newer or older snapshot.

The problem with this bug id that it isn't consistently reproducable (ie. if you recompile the compiler, it may not happen anymore), so it's hard to track down.

Can you please try to use
-Aas option and report if this solves your problem.

I think that the bug is in the binary writer, but I am currently mainly working on the IDE and allmost only use 1.0.3 version.

A quick check while online shows -Aas cures the problem.

I'll try a later Snapshot.

Use -Aas.
