The GCC version doesn't change the delay() behavior
at all - but the library version does.  You are
probably using V2.03 on Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
They have bugs and missing support in their interrupt
API.  delay() has been modified in the V2.04 alpha
test release to fall back to the 55ms timer tick
when the BIOS call doesn't work.  If you need delay()
to work on these platforms, you can get the current
CVS version of this file from:
http://www.delorie.com/bin/cvsweb.cgi/djgpp/src/libc/dos/dos/delay.c
and use it with V2.03.
