Please supply relevant details.  What does ``won't compile'' mean?  Are
there any error messages?  Does it crash?  If so, what does it write on
the screen when it crashes?  Does it hang your machine?  Please post
everything you see/feel/smell when you invoke gcc.  Also, tell something
about your system (how much RAM, what CPU, how much free disk space, what
operating system).  These details are important for the people who will
try to help you: they cannot possibly guess what's going on on your
machine.

Please post the exact text of what gcc prints when invoked with -v 
switch.  Also, invoke go32-v2 with no arguments from the DOS prompt and 
post what it prints.
