It would be nice to hear more about the failures, like what were the
error messages.

Not for v2.x. And frankly, I rather doubt that Make is the cause of the
problem. You said yourself that even from the command line the COFF
executable was non-functional.

You didn't explain anything about ``the other toolset'' you are using.
So I really cannot tell you anything useful about this.

In my experience, all of them are subtly incompatible. If you want to
use the DJGPP tools, stick to them, don't mix them with other tools.

So let's investigate this problem, instead of looking for alternative
tools that would most probably get you into more trouble.
