FX!32 is installed on this machine. I guess that does the trick...?
I don't really know how FX!32 works. In general I didn't think Alpha
NT could run Intel binaries.

Well it turned out that I needed to turn the forward slashes around to
backslashes and change the drive letter references in my DJGPP.ENV
file and that seemed to fix some things. It no longer gives the
"abnormal program termination" error, and GCC will compile simple
"hello world" programs. But other, more complex programs will compile
but not run, because it says the program is too big to fit in memory
when it clearly is not. (The machine has 256 MB of RAM and the
program in question is only 433 lines.)
go32-v2 gives this output:
go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as
well as v1 binaries (old makefiles). Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH
but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.
DPMI memory available: 13943 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 0 Kb
Is my lack of swap space the reason why it won't run these "large" programs?
I tried this simple program and the pointer d returned NULL. Is my
program unreasonable? Is there an example program or something that I
could try to see if the compiler is working correctly?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void)
{
double *d;
d = (double *) malloc (4000000 * sizeof (double));
if (d == NULL) printf ("d is null!\n");
else free(d);
return (0);
}
This is what gcc -v prints when it compiles the above program (called foo.c):
