Why did you need to build djlsr202?  You can debug the problem without
rebuilding the library.  That's what I did.

You have some installation snafu, like mixed specs files and/or
libraries.  I just tried to build djlsr202 with DJGPP v2.01 and gcc
2.7.2.1, and it worked flawlessly for me on a plain DOS machine (DOS
version 5.0).

I don't understand why did you come to this conclusion.  The DJGPP
distribution (djdev and djlsr) *are* tested on DOS machines, and it
did work for all those who tried, including myself.

There can always be bugs that only happen on specific system
configurations, but please don't suggest that the beta-testing is done
in some sloppy way, because that's not true.
