     Line 1469 etseq of file DJGPP\DOCS\GCC\INVOKE.TEX says (my capitals):-

   @item -d AT var{letters}
   Says to make debugging dumps during compilation at times specified by
   @var{letters}. This is used for debugging the compiler.  The file names
   for most of the dumps are made by appending a word to the source file
   name (e.g. @file{FOO.C.RTL} or @file{FOO.C.JUMP}).  Here are the
   possible letters for use in @var{letters}, and their meanings:

     Those filenames have 2 dots each and so are illegal on PC's!!!

(You mean invalid.)  True.  One solution would be to hack the GCC source
to add a dash instead of a dot.
