About 4 days ago, dv1b AT hotmail DOT com noted problems while compiling with
DJGPP.  When I looked at the report, I noted several references to:

      cpp.exe ... -lang-c  -o /tmp/RHbaaaaa\c -.c
      ld.exe ... -o /dev/null ...

It seems to me that the program (for instance, gcc) is somehow munching
the source code's filename: "-.c" is not AFAIK a valid DOS filename.

This could be part of the problem.

Also if you choose /dev/null as the -o of your linker, your output OF ANY
TYPE goes to that great bit-bucket in the sky - i.e. oblivion, never to be
found by stubify.

If this esteemed person would check his/her command line, and post same, I
would be able to help...how on earth did he get as far as he did?

Thanks...
