For info:
  I am using the same antivirus [Inoculan with the last update (4/17/99)]
and I had the same problem (Cold3927 detected).

  After some inquiries, I found out that this "virus" comes from the file
mak377b.zip (more precisely from make.exe in this file). Inoculan does not
detect anything wrong with the other DJGPP- zip files available on the net.

  I am a beginner in using DJGPP, but after this problem with Inoculan I
have cleaned my system, and reinstalled all the files I needed except
mak377b.zip. Surprisingly everything seems to work fine for me. Apparently
I don't need this file since I am doing only basic things...

In case these infos could be useful to anybody...
