There is no spawned shell; the underlying library functions emulate
the shell (so that we could support some nifty features, like long
command lines).

What exactly is your PATH setting?  Please type "PATH" from the DOS
box's prompt, hit [Enter], and post here the result.

Also, add a line saying just "set" to your Makefile, and post here
what it prints.

What do you see if you go to the DJGPP's `bin' directory and type
"dir gcc*"?

Does it help to replace "gcc" with "GCC" in your Makefile?

(FWIW, on my system, either one works, so it's either something else
or maybe your system is different from mine in some crucial ways.)
