-: That might be true (depending on what version of GCC do you use), but 
-: even if it is so, the necessary header is included by the preprocessor 
-: before anything else, because the specs file tells it to do so with the

-: 
-: No.  __DJGPP__ should work exactly like __MSDOS__.  If you see something 
-: else, please post a short test program.

Ok, there are two files `hello.[ch]' at the end of this note that I've
been using to reproduce the behavior described above.  I'm using stock
djdev2.03 with DOS 5.0.

% gcc --version
2.7.2.1

% bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.04.7(1)-release (i386-pc-msdosdjgpp)
Copyright 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

1. Compile `hello.c' with headers #included in this order:
	#include "hello.h"
	#include <stdio.h>

% gcc -c hello.c
In file included from hello.c:1:
hello.h:6: warning: #warning Found msdos.   <-- does *not* see __DJGPP__
% gcc -o hello.exe hello.o
% ./hello.exe
hello, world
hello, djgpp   <-- but hello.c *does* see __DJGPP__
hello, dos

2. Compile `hello.c' with headers in this order:
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include "hello.h"

% gcc -c hello.c
In file included from hello.c:2:
hello.h:2: warning: #warning Found djgpp.   <--
hello.h:6: warning: #warning Found msdos.
% gcc -o hello.exe hello.o
% ./hello.exe
hello, world
hello, djgpp   <--
hello, dos

So, depending on header #include order, __DJGPP__ may not be defined
and available for #ifdef testing inside `hello.h'.

TIA

Files hello.h, hello.c:

% cat hello.h
#ifdef __DJGPP__
#warning Found djgpp.
#endif

#ifdef __MSDOS__
#warning Found msdos.
#endif

% cat hello.c
#include "hello.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	printf("hello, world\n");
#ifdef __DJGPP__
	printf("hello, djgpp\n");
#endif
#ifdef __MSDOS__
	printf("hello, dos\n");
#endif
	return 0;
}
