I can't seem to find the source of the following problem. I've got two 
boxes running XP, both with the same installation of djgpp:

bnu2161b.zip
bnu2161d.zip
djdev203.zip
faq230b.zip
gcc410b.zip
gcc410d.zip
gdb611b.zip
gdb611d.zip
mak3791b.zip
mak3791d.zip
pakk023b.zip
rhid15ab.zip
txi48b.zip
txi48d.zip

On one, compiling and linking the file a.c works fine, on the other it 
seems collect2.exe can not open libc.a

I repeated all this with v2.03 refresh and got the same results. Flummoxed!

Open to any suggestions
