You actually are addressing the wrong tribe of warriors.  This is a
pure C++ language problem quite unrelated to DJGPP in particular,
which you should be bringing to the attention of comp.lang.c++
instead.

I'm almost 100% certain you should neither need, nor use those casts
to (Matrix&).  C-style casts are generally frowned upon in modern C++,
and I'd be very surprised if you needed them in the case at hand.

I don't think that was a good idea.  You can't meaningfully make the
existence of such an override depend on a member variable (the size).
Given that this will disrupt the automatic discovery of the right
overloaded operators to use (as shown by your error message), I
strongly suggest you get rid of the overloaded cast to double.
