This looks like you're hitting one of the problems created by GCC-3.0,
for the DJGPP port at large, not just for cross-compilations.  GCC
insists on installing its own set of platform-specific headers, and
run 'fixinclude' even on the DJGPP headers, now, although these
headers are explicitly meant to be used by no other compiler than GCC,
anyway.  And it can fail doing that correctly.
