I assume this is a long file name problem.
"streambuf.h" has 9 characters (without extension), so unless you
turn on LFN support in your djgpp.env with LFN=y it will only
see the crippled "stream~1.h".
If you use a DOS unzipper which will truncate the filenames instead of
crippling them this would also work - then the file would be "streambu.h"
which is ok if gcc lokks for a "streambuf.h".
Alternatively you can tweak Windows by putting a statement into the
registry which tells Windows not to use a tilde.

Goto Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
Add the value NameNumericTail=0

However you would have to re-unzip all the packages - this setting affects
only newly created files.
