What did you do with the two source files after compiling them?  You 
should put them into the DJGPP C library, like so:

	ar rvs c:/djgpp/lib/libc.a sigactio.o is_exec.o

(change the pathname of libc.a as appropriate on your system).  Then 
touch one of the object files and rebuild Emacs, like this:

	touch src/emacs.o
	make install

If you already did the above, tell me more about the process you are
trying to invoke and about your DJGPP setup.  Does this happen for any
program you run, or just for some?  What Emacs command(s) do you use to
invoke subprocesses?  Does suspending Emacs (C-x C-z) work?  What is your
DPMI server (CWSDPMI?  Windows?).
