Debugging it using GNU Make is too daunting, so if we build a set of minimal C problems to force it to happen, we might get someplace. To start with: - It only happens when you nest djgpp programs. That implies that we need an outer program, that calls another, which calls another. Will that get us the required number of nesting levels? - What type of calls are used to load and execute the nested programs (what does GNU-Make use for instance). We'll add those to the contrived programs, to accomplish the nesting. Anything else to get us started?
