Sorry, I must be missing something: where's the mixup?  All of the
names above (crt0w32.o, dll0w32.o etc.) don't happen at all in the
stock DJGPP distribution.  So what's the problem to have them all in
the same directory with DJGPP's libraries and object files?

Will renaming the libraries that have the same names (if there are
such) and using lib/specs to force GCC to use the correct ones solve
this problem?
