If you want a real look, add the -save-temps flag to your compilation 
flags.  That will preserve all the intermediate files, including the asm 
source.

Actually, that's not a definition you found.  It's a declaration.

The message itself is most likely caused by the presence of the 
--warn-common flag in the effective linker command line.  It's 
complaining about multiple not-quite-definitions which, in a C program, 
would look like this:

	unsigned short __dpmi_error;

In the actual DJGPP libc sources, those are assembly modules, but the 
story is essentially the same.  "common" definitions are considered 
normal in the Unix world, including DJGPP, so it's not a terribly good 
idea to activate that linker warning in code meant for a Unix platform. 
  That said, you can just ignore the warning.
