That's not allowed in Windows.  When in Rome...

Don't use any of the djgpp header files.  RSXNTDJ uses its own C
library, so you should use its header files, not djgpp's.  This
is one reason why I feel that the standard RSXNTDJ installation
instructions are bad.

IMHO you should either have djgpp's include directories and
library paths set or have RSXNTDJ's set.

Effectively RSXNTDJ is different to djgpp.  It's just a new C
library which takes advantage of djgpp's versions of gcc and the
binutils.  When I was playing around with new ways of packaging
RSXNTDJ I found that if you only want to make Windows or RSX
programs you don't need the djdev package at all -- you just
need gcc and binutils.
