This error is almost always caused by having a 16-bit version of gcc
somewhere in your PATH before DJGPP's gcc.  Do you have Borland C/C++
installed on your computer?  If so, either remove its bin dir from your
PATH or put DJGPP's bin dir before the Borland one.  A fundamental
problem with DPMI is that you simply cannot mix 16-bit and 32-bit DPMI
apps.

BTW, the FAQ does describe this problem, in section 6.7.  Make sure you
have the latest version (v2/faq201b.zip).
