It turns out that cc1 is getting "divide overflow" errors and
terminating. The FOO.O file is an old one, not being recreated each
time. So, this is another "too big for gcc to handle" problem, I
think, as the file being compiled has really big basic blocks, big
switch statements,long distance branches, etc. Compiles fine in
Solaris, IRIX, etc. environments with gcc 2.8.1 and 2.95.x, but not
with latest 2.95.2 in DJGPP. What next?
