This is not really a high-quality error report. You should post the exact warning and error messages and also post the exact command line you used for both MS link and WLINK. I'm familiar with both linkers. Additionally, you should make the linkers create MAP files - by comparing the two resulting map files it will most likely become obvious what's wrong with wlink.

For wlink, to create a map file enter:

"format dos name blah file abc,xyz,out,term,sys op map"
