^^^^^^^^
Are you using assembler? (cpufuncs?)
If so, this probably means there are errors in it. Compilation with
djgpp takes place in two stages: the compiler (cc1 or cc1plus) takes in
C/C++ (suitably preprocessed) and outputs assembly suitable for gas, and
gas takes in assembly suitable for gas and outputs an object file. The
gas assembly is placed in your temporary directory (here
c:\misc\djgpp\tmp) with a temporary filename (here cccaaaaa) and deleted
when the programs terminate. Unfortunately, if there are no errors in
the C file but errors in the assembly file (which wil never happen in
the normal course of things, but may happen if you write your own
assembler) the temporary assembly file will be deleted without you being
able to examine it.
To find the error, you will have to compile the program as normal with
gcc, but using the -S (generate assembly) switch. Then check out the
line numbers referenced above, and see what's going on. If you have any
assembly experience it should be fairly straightforward. (Is there a
command-line parameter to prohibit deletion of temporary files?)
If the above is not the case, check your header files -- perhaps there
is assembly there -- and finally consider the possibility that you have
found a bug in djgpp...
