Thanks for help! I've linked with the DJGPP's 'ld', and it report some
unresolved vars in stdcx.a : __dj_ctype_flags, __dj_stdin, __dj_stdout (of
course, my program crash when it uses the C++ streams : cout, cin and
files). The 'nm' utility report those variables in libc.a. But even if I
link this file, the same errors come back. I think that it's because the
linker uses RSXNTDJ's libc.a, which doesn't contain the __dj_... vars. If I
link DJGPP's libc.a, the previous errors are resolved, but I get some new
unresolved vars (like _entry2). So, which LIB directory must be used? Should
the linker have access only to RSXNTDJ .a files, or also to DJGPP's? And
which .a does 'GCC -Zwin32 -Zmt' always link for a C++ code?
