Your COFF object module is corrupt since it contains a relocation entry for an undefined static
symbol. See Corrupt Object File for more information.
Linker Tools Error LNK1187
Corrupt object - unmatched name relocation; ignored
Your object file contains bad relocation information. Recopy or recreate the object file. See Corrupt
Object File for more information.
Linker Tools Error LNK1188
BADFIXUPSECTION:: invalid fixup target "symbol"; possible zero length section
This message is issued only for VxD links when the target of a relocation does not have a section.
With LINK386 (an older version), an OMF GROUP record (generated by a MASM GROUP
directive) may have been used to combine the zero length section with another non-zero length
section. COFF format does not support the GROUP directive and zero-length sections. When LINK
automatically converts this type of OMF objects to COFF, this error may occur.
Linker Tools Error LNK1189
LIBTOOMANYMEMBERS:: library limit of number objects exceeded
The limit of 65535 objects or members in a library has been exceeded.
