V2.03 stub and V2.04 libc are not compatible because of the 
symbols I moved.  V2.03's stub does not contain djgpp_ds_alias or
crt0_startup_flags - so it either can't find them or tries to
pull them from the v2.03 libc, which then causes other conflicts.

If we want, this is fixable by putting these symbols in their own
modules in the v2.04 libc.  I had moved them to crt0 since it
required them and managed them.

But I do think it's weird that we would be getting the two mixed up
during linking - probably better that the error happens so we know
something bad has happened ...
