Do you have a 387?  If not, you will have to use the 387
emulator.  There are two of these supplied with DJGPP, but
the current version of DJGPP is 1.12, not 1.11, and it's hard
to find the old version anymore.  I would suggest to upgrade.
If you want to do that, you will be able to find the latest
DJGPP version on any SimTel mirror (e.g., oak.oakland.edu)
in the DJGPP directory.  Be sure to download the files wmemu112.zip
or djemu112.zip which hold the emulators.

It needs at least 3 MB of free RAM to compile without paging to disk
(which makes it VERY slow) even for a large program; smaller files
might compile even in 1 MB.  It's disk footprint is around 20 MBytes,
but you can easily bring this down to 12-15MB by deleting many
unnecessary files.

Does above sounds like too much hardware?  Anyway, 1.12 doesn't
give you any advantage here.
