From your PATH statement I presume that you are having DJGPP on a Novell Netware
drive. From the problems you are expiriencing I know that you are using NETX. Use
gcc -v 
and you will see that gcc forgets the -Llibpath switch when invoking ld.
The only workaround I found so far is to switch from NETX to VLM. Please send me a 
personal mail which date stamp your ZIP file with gcc has (before/after Feb 5).
And, if you switched to VLM do not forget to stubedit ld and give it a transfer
buffer of 64k.

BTW, Eli, there _WERE_ two different versions of V2 on the net. One of Feb,5 and the
other one Feb 22 or so, and the gcc.exe's _ARE_ different. I just hadn't the time to
put the newer one on the Novell net and try it out. We currently have problems with
our server and my PC runs now as a backup server, so it might take a little.
