Hello,
Yes the problem is with the latest DJGPP c++ compiler. more specifically, if
you rebuild dlxgen.exe with the latest djgpp distribution, you will always
get that "more than one section error", even on the test programs that come
with dlx.

However, if you rebuild the dlxgen.exe with an older DJGPP distribution, and
try to create dxl's with this, even with *.o's made with the latest DJGPP,
everything works fine, at least for me. So, the problem is with the
dlxgen.exe program, not c++ target files.

I have noticed that the error "ANSI c++ does not allow (void*)  blah blah
blah," errors a lot. They just pound the older libraries to death. Is there
any way to turn ANSI c++ checking off. I think this is the problem with
dlxgen.exe. I get one of those "ANSI c++" errors, and then I do a type cast,
and then compile. The program compiles, but something is wrong.

I am defiantly thinking of going back one DJGPP rev. I am just getting to
many frustrating build errors on libraries that have been working for years,
with this new release.
