This is a known bug. GCC 2.8.x places CC1.EXE in a different directory from
where Allegro checks for it. Your options are the following:

* Get the most recent version of Allegro, which fixes this.
* Remove the check from the Makefile. It's only a sanity check to make sure
the user really has DJGPP installed.
* Create a dummy CC1.EXE in bin. You can remove it after compiling Allegro.
