There is no size_t on line 41 in sys/types.h.  Please make sure your 
sys/types.h comes from djdev201.zip, and not from some earlier version of 
DJGPP.  Another possibility is that your sys/types.h is garbled somehow.

My unistd.h has only 150 lines.  It seems that some of your header files 
are garbled.  I suggest you re-install them from djdev201.zip.

My advice is: NEVER disregard a warning, unless you understand it 
completely and are sure that you indeed mean to do what the compiler 
doesn't like (and even then, it is better to find a way that doesn't 
trigger the warning).

This is an unrelated problem.  Please post the relevant details (like 
which makeall.bat is that, and what exactly did make print).

No.
