On a multi-partitioned system, I don't think it's a very good idea at
all to have any part of DJGPP (except maybe CWSDPMI.EXE) on C:.  You
have lots of partitions --- use them.

I'd move the DJGPP to F:, wholesale, and the DJGPP sources, if any, to
G:

And avoid having all DJGPP sources in unpacked form at the same time,
let alone complete with .o files.
