I hope you mean version 2.01; the two aren't compatible, and if you start
using version 2.00 it is likely to cause problems.

as is the assembler; your C code is converted into assembler, which as
assembles into the object files. You don't seem to have downloaded all the
files marked as required in readme.1st; check the section on what to get.
In particular, as is in the binutils package, v2gnu/binXXXb.zip (I don't
remember the version number).

They look fine to me, although GCC_INCLUDE_DIR and LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR
shouldn't be required (the DJGPP variable pointing to DJGPP.ENV is
normally sufficient).
