This sounds vaguely familiar. Looks like, in the past few weeks, several
newbies got bitten by similar problems: newly downloaded gcc hanging in
the air doing nothing. But then, at least some of them claim that the same
happens to them on plain DOS as well, not just in a Win95 DOS box.

To you, those hex values may be just 'some funny thing'. To us, they would
have been absolutely vital information about possible causes of your
problem. So please: try that again, and mail us everything that an
invocation like
gcc -v -o hello.exe hello.c
prints. Esp. those hex numbers are absolutely necessary.
And be sure to check for a possible virus infection of your system.

DJGPP doesn't pull any tricks that would work on Intel hardware only,
I think. Its code is designed to run unchanged on every platform since
the 386, and it has never failed us yet in this respect.
