DJGPP doesn't have (and doesn't need) alloca.h, so ifdef'ing away that
#include directive should solve the first problem.

I don't know what does paths.h do on Linux, but it's possible that you
won't need it as well.  DJGPP doesn't have it, either.

Either way, it seems that this software wasn't adapted to DJGPP, so
you might need to have a better look at the sources.  Many DOS/Unix
incompatibilities don't raise their ugly head until run time.
