I find myself in possession of an HP OmniBook 530, a 486SX/33-derived
box with 12MB of memory and, effectively, about 200MB of disk.  I
downloaded the latest DJGPP development tools from Delorie.COM, and
except for a couple warnings from PKUNZIP (presumably due to long
filenames?), everything unpacked as in the READMEs.  Emacs works,
RHIDE seems to work, everything is happy, EXCEPT: cc1.exe just hangs
the machine up when gcc calls it, or when you invoke it by hand.
Even invoking cc1.exe without arguments from the MS-DOS prompt just
hangs the machine up tight... you have to give it the three-fingered
salute to get it back.

Anyone used djgpp with this box, or have any ideas?  I'd really like
to use it as a platform for doing development in DOS to talk to some
funky PCMCIA devices.

TIA,
