Well, lo and behold, you are having the same problem I had late last
night. And I solved it late last night- see the thread "unknown link
problem" In case you miss that one, here is the relevant part:

I eventually solved this one- it was a long file name problem-
libstdcxx.a was what the linker wanted, but could only look for a 8.3
letter version. So I merely renamed a duplicate libstdcx.a. This
happened despite having long file names enabled in djgpp.env- perhaps
there is a Rhide option too? At any rate, having a duplicate is no
prob- it is only a bit over 600k, and will negate the possibility of
encountering the reverse problem.
I think the problem came about because on one machine I used pkunzip
(which I guess clips long filenames), on the offending machine I used
WinZIP- and winzip maintained the long file name! That is the theory
I'll go on unless otherwise informed.

Rhide is great- despite some nebulous bugs I think I am seeing. Most
notable bugs of the moment- it simply doesn't pay attention to
preferences I set (matched brackets, spaces-not-tabs, etc.). Also, the
"copy from/to windown clipboard" is unreliable. And there are some
features I'd like to see- like not having the options files be so
original-directory specific, so any time I copy a project to a new
computer I don't have all the root-referenced directory problems.
(MSVC's developer is good like that- no matter where you drop a
project, it is ready to compile).
But I often keep Rhide up at the same time as I am doing MSVC
programming- I like the libc references, and I like the way it
highlights keywords, I like it's calculator.
