Generally, it's recommended to wait for DJGPP v2.04 (no, I don't know
when it will be released).  While this problem is the main
show-stopper for using DJGPP on W2K, it's not the only one, so there's
no guarantee that after patching all your stuff you will have a
completely functional development environment.  It depends on what you
do with DJGPP.

That said, I think I posted the patch here a few weeks ago.

You patch a couple of library modules, compile those modules and put
them into libc.a, and then rebuild every DJGPP program you use.  As a
minimum, you will have to rebuild GCC, Make, and Binutils (and RHIDE,
if you use it).  In general, every program that invokes other DJGPP
programs and can nest the child programs more than one level, should
be rebuilt after patching the library.
