I don't think so, but you don't need to set NameNumericTail on W2K 
anyway.

Is this the _only_ message printed when Make runs?  If not, please post 
everything that Make prints, even if the output is very long.

This looks messed up.  Is it indeed one line?  If so, it's wrong.

Again, is this the _only_ message printed when Make runs?

Also, try adding -v to the gcc options and post everything that is 
printed.

In general, compiling from Make doesn't work on Windows 2000, because 
NTVDM there has a bug: it tends to crash when DJGPP programs are nested 
more than 2 levels deep.  However, the phenomenon you describe seems to
be different, so I'm not sure it's the same problem.
