It seems that you unzipped the files on Windows 9X, but with a DOS
unzip program that didn't preserve the long file names in the
archives.

Either remove the entire DJGPP tree and reinstall everything, this
time using an unzip program that supports long file names, or (if you
are very desperate) set LFN=n in the environment, which will disable
long file name support in DJGPP programs.
