Cross compiler, gcc compiling

At first I tried DJGPP, but found problems that weren't accually there when compiling. Then I tried Cygwin, compiling was fine but when i used LD to link my start.o and other system files, it tells me , "cannot use PE operations on non-PE formats", refering to my start file assembaled in NASM. i tried outputing in A.OUT and Elf, both get the same message. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? THanks in advance. _Techn9kotine
