I may be wrong, and somebody more wise than myself might have a better 
answer, but the errors you recieved seem to be involved in functions 
which are probably 16-bit in origin, and segmented memory.  You will need to 
find replacements for them involving 32-bit counterparts try ...

info libc alphabetical 

This should produce a list of functions.  We can use the 's' key to 
search the list.  I seem to remember discussion of stubs for these being 
added to libc for the benefit of porting code from 16 bit, I could be 
wrong.  If nothing else you will probably find what you are looking for 
by using djgpp counterparts.
