Thanks, Eli.  As usual, I'm coming at things from the perspective of
porting from
Windows heritage compilers etc., so I encounter things that others may
not. In this
case, I have been using GetShortPathName() prior to the spawnxx() call, so

naturally the easiest fix to make things compile under DJGPP is to pose
the question as I did. If there was, I would merely link with a different
library,
w/o source changes. However, I suppose I can write a "do nothing"
GetShortPathName()
of my own and compile it in or link to it only under DJGPP.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I can't abandon totally the Windows heritage
compilers. The
product has to work for a range of different compilers, of which DJGPP is
one.
Getting off the original topic a bit, a recently encountered and very
troublesome
problem is lack of long file name support on NT. regradless of who's fault
that is
(I've read the FAQ), it's a bit of a setback for me. I understand that
Cygnus
does not have this problem.
