I eventually solved this one- it was a long file name problem-
libstdcxx.a was what the linker wanted, but could only look for a 8.3
letter version. So I merely renamed a duplicate libstdcx.a. This
happened despite having long file names enabled in djgpp.env- perhaps
there is a Rhide option too? At any rate, having a duplicate is no
prob- it is only a bit over 600k, and will negate the possibility of
encountering the reverse problem.

I think the problem came about because on one machine I used pkunzip
(which I guess clips long filenames), on the offending machine I used
WinZIP- and winzip maintained the long file name! That is the theory
I'll go on unless otherwise informed.
