Anyone out there have any experience writing OS/2 drivers in C?

I am writing a 16-bit OS/2 device driver in C/2. I'm having trouble
getting the linker to put the data segment (which contains the
device header) first. The C/2 manual says that the linker
locates segments in the order it encounters them. This seems
true until I start bringing in the C run-time libraries
(which I need for sprintf, strtok, memcpy, etc.). If I link
without the library (and thereby get a zillion unresolveds)
the map at least says that the data segment is first.
