What is especially ironic is that (IIRC) Microsoft helped design DPMI.

It may be easy to break DJGPP, but it's much harder to break Free
development systems that use the documented Win32 API and msvcrt.dll
without also breaking popular MSVC compiled apps. Try MinGW:
http://www.mingw.org/
Because some users have reported problems finding a binary:
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe
MinGW works fine for my Pure Allegro-based apps.
If you want the option of a POSIX layer for your GPL-compatible
application, try Cygwin:
