This problem (and one other in Emacs 19.31) is due to a bug in the
_is_executable() library function in DJGPP.  To properly compile Emacs with
DJGPP v2, you need two patches, one to is_exec.c and the other to sigactio.c.
Both are available from the DJGPP web site bug tracking system as the following
URLs:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/bugs/show.cgi?000090	(is_exec.c patch)
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/bugs/show.cgi?000091	(sigactio.c patch)

Note:  you need the library sources (djlsr200.zip) to compile these patches.
If you just want the fixed files (they're quite small), you can look in the
new Emacs 19.33 distribution which contains the files and, AFAIK, automagically
compiles and applies them to libc.a.  Barring that, email me and I'll send
you the fixed files with instructions.  :)

HTH!
