Subject: compiler problem with nmake

I have an old program that is compiled with djgpp.  I use microsoft's
nmake to process the makefile.  The program normally compiles
flawlessly.  I recently upgraded to .maint4 version of djgpp and now I
have problems compiling the code; specificially, no matter which module
I try and compile something like:

E>nmake -f gnumake DEBUG=

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 1.11

        gcc -O0 -m486 -g -DCOLOR -DX_PLOT -DPOSTSCRIPT -c complete.c

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'gcc' : return code '120'
Stop.

The module doesn't matter.  If I manually enter the gcc command at the dos prompt, the
module compiles as expected.  I'm running on a 486, with 16 Meg ram, under DV/X 2.0.
I also replaced go32 with the .maint3 version, but this gave the same problem.  Finally, 
I've used the make that comes with djgpp to compile other code and it works as expected.

Any advice would be appreciated.
