I can use the C++ compiler (v2.7.2.1) with RSXNTDJ.  Maybe this 
is just a problem with more recent compilers?  IIRC the more 
recent compilers use stabs debugging by default, and RSXNTDJ 
also puts in some stabs directives (for DLL references).  
Perhaps these clash with each other?

Also I noticed that the latest gcc (v2.8.1) has its own version 
of the specs, which maybe needs to be merged with RSXNTDJ's 
version of the specs.  No doubt you already tried this though.
