Please add -v to the gxx command line and post everything it prints.  
Warning: that output is *very* voluminous, so you might want to redirect 
it to a file, like this:

	redir -e errors.txt gxx -v <filename> -lpcv

(`redir' is a program that comes with DJGPP.)  Then post the contents of 
`errors.txt' file.
