Wel, you could try building all objects using DJGPP 2.03 on both
Solaris and the DOS machine; since they behave differently, there
must be a difference in code somewhere. Just do
'cmp --ignore-initial=16 solaris-object.o msdos-object.o' to see if
the code differs (I am assuming the cross-compiler generates
objects in the target format, and doesn't just generate the target
format when linking). It may not be a great help, but might help
pinpointing the location of the difference.
