Neither.  DJGPP programs do work on Windows 2000, no matter where they
were compiled.  But there are a number of problems with using DJGPP
programs on Windows 2000: for example, the DOS box crashes when you
run nested programs (i.e. one program invokes another which invokes
yet another), and RHIDE seems to be unable to read the djgpp.env file
for some unknown reason.

So using DJGPP for development on Windows 2000 is not recommended.
