Are you absolutely sure?  Look in chapter 6.12 of the DJGPP FAQ (should
have been recommended by the Zip-Picker) for the correct format for
posting a system report to this list.

That's interesting.  Please post at least a copy of gcc's output when
you use the '-v' parameter, as well as the exact command lines you are
trying to use.  I've never seen a case where gcc doesn't print anything
at all, except when the program compiled successfully.  (You did check
for this, didn't you?)

You might also want to try out my djverify diagnostic utility.  The
latest version is in prerelease testing, and I (obviously) need some
incorrect setups to test it on.  :)  If you are interested, please email
me.
