I'd guess that Borland and/or Win32 executables have their own way of 
passing environment which bypasses the environment of the DOS box where 
the DJGPP child program is run.  Try calling the DJGPP program via 
`system' instead of `spawnve'.  If that doesn't help, try `system' with 
explicit COMMAND.COM, like this:

	system ("command.com /c myprogram.exe");
