Etch needs relocation information to rewrite a binary. Most compilers produce this by default, including pre-5.0 releases of Microsoft Visual C. MSVC 5.0, though, by default, does not produce relocation information for .exe files. If you are invoking the linker from the command line or maintaining your own makefile, you will need to add the flag “/fixed:no” when you invoke link.exe.
