The first suggestion would be to read the FAQ.  Section 12.7 tells you
that you cannot debug a program which uses floating point on a machine
without an FP hardware (unless you use `WMEMU' as your emulator).  So
please try using WMEMU (it should be in the file v2misc/wmemu2b.zip at the
same site you got DJGPP) and see if that helps.
