I don't understand: the failure above seems to be a compile time failure 
(some of the header files are not found), not a run-time failure.  So how 
can EXEEXT be connected to this?  I'd suspect some snafu with -I switch 
passed (or which should have been passed) to the compiler.

Correct.  All the other GNU packages which support DJGPP store the batch 
files with DOS CR-LF EOL format.  If this is not done, command.com will 
not run them.
