The near and far keywords are ANSI C extensions, and are not described by the
ANSI C standard.  They happen to be needed by some segmented architectures.

DJGPP is a 32-bit flat memory model, and so you aren't dealing with near or
far pointers; everything is 32-bit.  That is, int *goober is already a 32-bit
pointer in DJGPP.
