I think your impression is mistaken.  Almost all such trouble boils
down to a single problem: if you use DJGPP on Windows 9X, you need to
set LFN=y in the environment.  If you use RHIDE to compile C++
program, there is another small gotcha which is solved by adding a
single line to a certain file.  That's all.

I wouldn't call this ``running into trouble''.  Both of these things
are well-documented in the various READMEs, btw.
