Caveat emptor.  Others reported here that the mixed DJGPP/MASM code
will link OK, but crash at run time.  At least in one case I was told
that the code produced by MASM for a function call is different from
what Gas generates, and therefore when the linker resolves these
calls, you get code that might crash.
