Given this trace, I think the problem is in libiberty's mkstemps,
which is called with 'c:/djgpp/tmp/ccXXXXXX' and fails due to EACCES.
Can you trace inside that as well?

No, that's not so.  It's collect2.exe that calls pex-common functions
as part of its code.  And process permissions on MS-DOS have no
meaning anyway.
