That error means that the compiler couldn't find the file 'exusm1.c.loop';
it looks like something about the way you compile your program is making
it reference this filename, which is illegal under DOS.  Are you running
DJGPP from Win95?  If so, then in order to get it to recognize Win95 long
filenames, you must type the following at the DOS command line:

set LFN=Y

You can put this in your autoexec.bat if you want it to be the default
behavior.  Try this and see if your program compiles.

Also, are you using Make to compile, or are you typing that command from
the DOS command line or a batch file?  If either of the latter is the
case, then the command line is probably being truncated by DOS, causing
gcc to miss quite a few of those '-I' statements.

As a final tip, you don't need to specify both '-c' and '-o exusm1.o' --
just '-c' is the preferred method of instructing gcc to only output object
code.  Doing both is not only redundant, but could conceivably get you in
trouble with non-Unixy compilers.  (For example, BCC and TCC output .OBJ
files, and wouldn't know what to do with '-o exusm1.o'.)
