From the discussion on this topic here in recent months I get the idea that
this problem is unsoluble at the moment. As a replacement I have recently
switched to the Mingw32 version of EGCS 1.1.1 
(http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/egcs.html#egcs112).

This is easy to install and can successfully compile the C++ RSXNTDJ
example you mention (it also doesn't need additional .DLLs in a
distribution).

Although I have looked at a couple of other IDEs (pcGrasp or VIDE), I have
yet to find one as user-friendly as RSXIDE. It is quite possible to use
RSXIDE with egcs. The only slight problem is that you will have to modify
Makefile.txt to remove -zWin32 from the link line, save the modified file
and use this (instead of the constantly replaced Makefile.txt) by using
-fMakefile.new as make flag (and modify the file by hand to reflect any
changes in your project). You will also want to use Windres to manage
resources.
