Please do NOT download mak373b.zip if you use DJGPP v2.01.  Get 
mak375b.zip instead.  The port of Make 3.73 has some subtle 
incompatibilities with other v2.01 development tools.

How so?  The FAQ tells this in section 4.5:

        - Additional development tools (consider getting at least the Make
          distribution):
[snip]
         `v2gnu/mak373b.zip'
               GNU Make program with its docs.

(It recommends Make 3.73 because the FAQ wasn't updated yet to DJGPP 
v2.01).
