Hi Folks,

I've asked around about this strange phenomina, and so far, everyone has had
a rather blank answer of "hmm. dunno."  So, here's your shot. :)

I'm using djgpp V2 beta3 and when I had first installed it, everything worked
great for about 5 days.  Then every time I would try to compile something,
ANYTHING, I got this: c:/gcc/bin\stubify.exe: not a COFF file

After battling with even the simplist Hello World progie, I finally re-installed
most of the gcc files... that didn't work. So, I re-installed everything, and
re-booted a few times :) and then it worked...for 4 or 5 days. I've been doing
this for 4 weeks now.  So hears your chance. Am I just stupid? or what?

Just in case this might help, here's a dump of a gcc -v ...
