The linker does not work with compiler-generated ASM.

i got this to work now, i added --direct to the dtld options and changed the policy file to:

defaults
{
    kernel=@KERNEL_FOLDER@/stubsys.dkrn16
    jumplist=@KERNEL_FOLDER@/stubsys.djmp16
    symbols=@KERNEL_FOLDER@/stubsys.dsym16
}

format(image):
    chain image-direct

format(image-direct):
    write code

(i.e. removed the offset 0x1000 setting)

@hach-que: this might still be a bug, but this way compiled code links correctly

Cheers!
