We are in the process of releasing a refreshed djdev203.zip with the 
"fixed" sys/djtypes.h to make GCC 3.1 happy.  (Just not enough hours
in the day, when it's the last priority as volunteer work ...)

It's a patch - ideally you would extract it and run the patch utility
(if you installed it) - if not you could carefully hand edit the changes
into djtypes.h ...  Or I believe you can just get
 http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/v203u2/djdev203_u2.zip
and that will "upgrade" a December 2001 refresh to include the gcc 3.1
fixes.

This problem is more recent than either the most recent FAQ or the
last update to the zip picker instructions.  It's only seen with GCC 3.1,
earlier releases don't have this problem.

I use exclusively Win2K for my DJGPP development, so if you pick up the
recent files the key pieces (built since December 2001) should work on
Win2K.  If the binary is older, you may need to build an update yourself.
