You have to substitute djgpp's linker with rsxntdj's one:

ren c:\djgpp\bin\ld.exe c:\djgpp\bin\lb.bak (or ld.dj2)
copy d:\rsxntdj\bin\ld.exe c:\djgpp\bin\ld.exe

Then you can have problem compiling files that you was able to compile
before (I experienced it). You can get a VERY long error list from the
rsxntdj's linker about simbol not output (If i remember well). Maybe using
the original linker works.

this is all my experience on it; I'm not able to explain why...
