A little old, you may want to update.

No. There is no such version of DJGPP itself. It should be 2.03
(patchlevel 2, as reported in manifest\djdev203.ver), or 2.04 alpha 1.
Find out which one you really have.

Old-ish. You may want to update.

Did it bodily disapper? I.e. if you search for the actual file
outside RHIDE, is it still there? Or is RHIDE just no longer seeing
it? What did you have to do to restore it?

I would advise strongly against -save-temps for general-purpose
operation. It creates rather massive files that aren't good for
anything besides debugging the compiler and binutils. Which I rather
much doubt is what you're trying to do, is it?

If the file reappeared just by, e.g., re-starting RHIDE, it might be.

Cleaning PATH alone isn't necessarily enough. Check all your
environment:
set | find /i "ming"
in the shell you would be running DJGPP from. If you get any
variables listed which don't have MINGW in their *name*, but only in
their values, that may well be a sign of trouble.
You'll need separate compilation environments if you want to use DJGPP
and MinGW on the same machine. A pair of desktop shortcuts to
command.com using 'setdjgpp.bat', and a similar 'setmingw.bat', as a
startup file are usually a good way. For good measure, give them
keyboard shortcuts, too, like Alt-Shift-D for DJGPP, Alt-Shift-M for
MinGW.
*Don't* set up anything in autoexec.bat, in such a multiple-compiler
case. It'll only cause trouble. To name just one, it's quite a lot
harder to remove a single entry from the %PATH% than expanding it by
one. So you had better not put anything in there that you may not
want in all possible situations.

It's well possible. You'll have to check.
