Aha, you mentioned MinGW32

I didn't want to suggest this until you mentioned it, in case I added
confusion.

Remember DJGPP and MinGW32 are both versions of GCC.
You should not have both /DJGPP/BIN and /MINGW32/BIN on the path at
the same time,
and you should not have the DJGPP and DJDIR variables set when using
MING, etc. or some configure scripts get confused.

My guess is that your DJGPP program is being linked by the MinGW32 ld
program with the MinGW32 libc

You need to make a pair of .BAT files which set the environment for
using DJGPP or MINGW32

e.g.
GODJGPP.BAT
 set MINGDIR=
 set DJDIR=/where/you/keep/djgpp
 set DJGPP=/where/you/keep/djgpp/djgpp.env
 set PATH=c:\where\you\keep\djgpp\bin;c:\windows\;c:\windows\command

GOMING.BAT
 set MINGDIR=/wheresmyming/
 set DJDIR=
 set DJGPP=
 set PATH=c:\wheresmyming\bin;c:\windows\;c:\windows\command


They look roughly right
