And as so often, you found the right answer. :-(
This is probably exact the reason (assuming all the zip drives or
CD drives are mounted on drive D).
The only solution for this is to switch to ld.exe from binutils 2.8.1,
which has not this limitation
(because there is "e:/djgpp/i386-pc-msdosdjgpp/lib" hard-wired :-)))).
But please do so only, if you haven´t any slow drive mounted on E:
I found this now after debugging ld and found, that ld looks at any time
in this directory for the linker scripts (at least it checks if this
directory exists) and cannot be customized in any way, except using an
editor to modify the hardcoded string.
Sorry for this, but I never thought about this and binutils 2.7 are
ready for a long time and nobody has complaint it.
