They were in $DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.80/. My $DJDIR/bin contains the
2.7.2 version of cc1.exe and cpp.exe. The new gcc.exe finds this version
instead of 2.8.0.

Yes, I got an error from gas about that alignment thingy. But I think
now I know the reason: when djgpp 2.01 is released I read something
about a bug in gas (it added local labes to object files or something
like this), and I kept gas from 2.00. Sorry for the confusion I forgot
about it.
