Yes, that explains everything.  Thanks for looking into this.  I will
try to think whether there's a way of avoiding such problems
automatically.

In general, you shouldn't place any environment variables inside 
DJGPP.ENV.  Instead, define them on your AUTOEXEC.BAT.  The test
suite makes a point of undefining all the variables except those
which are necessary, so if CC were defined in the environment,
the problem wouldn't have happened.  But the test suite cannot
disable the settings on DJGPP.ENV because that would break the
DJGPP setup.
