Yes.  The startup code is being built for ELF with init/fini C++
constructor
which is not the case with gcc 2.8.1/coff.  

Look in startup/Makefile* and remove the -DUSE_INIT_FINI since you don't
want
that.  This only impacts the code compiled in that directory so if you
remove the objects in that directory and do a make from the start, you
should be OK.
