When are __DJGPP__ and __MSDOS__ guaranteed to be defined and valid for
#ifdef testing?

My experiments lead me to believe that __MSDOS__ is defined `immediately'
by the preprocessor (by virtue of using a gcc that was built for DOS),
but that __DJGPP__ is not defined until I #include a *system* header.

Therefore, in the following sequence

#include "foo.h"
#include <stdio.h>
[rest of code]

I can validly #ifdef __MSDOS__ inside "foo.h", but I have to wait until
_after_ <stdio.h> to validly #ifdef __DJGPP__?

Which would argue for always #include'ing system headers first, right?
