No - the DOS box crashed - see my other mail to Martin.

Oops, I did use '-v' not '-g' as written. The paths it listed included
both the CVS and stock 2.03 libc.a and also libgcc.a from gcc 2.95.3. That
was why the problem was so strange. gcc was telling me it was looking in
the right places to find the libraries, but then failing to find them!

Thanks, Eli. This is the first time I've encountered a "too many open
files" error in all the time I've been using DJGPP, so I think it is a
result of the DOS box crash leaving some files open. If I hit this error
again, I'll raise the limit.
Thanks, bye, Rich =]
