I am C programmer and use DJGPP to compile my programs for 32-bit
DOS.

Few days ago I downloaded the new distribution of DJGPP consisting
of
GCC 2.8.0 (formerly I used 2.7.2). (I delete all old files and
install 
all new)

I wish report that I have some problems with this new GCC compiler
that could be possibly BUGS in this.

(1)

First, is that GCC does not want to compile the program having more
than 
one module, let say test.c and module.c following way:

>gcc test.c module.c -o test

It was working with gcc 2.7.2 (for DOS and for Solaris)

It is also working Ok. currently following way:

>gcc -c test.c
>gcc -c module.c
>gcc test.o module.o -o test

or this way

>gcc -c module.c
>gcc test.c module.o -o test

So the problem is likely that it does not want to compile multiple
.c files in one command line.

Here are included those test files: test.c, module.c, module.h

They are to simple.

(2) The second problem is concerning the long names under Win95.
The problem is that GCC does not want to compile programs of their
names typed in Uppercase.

The following command does not cause any errors:

>gcc -c test.c

But following command results in error:

>gcc -c TEST.C
gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file
or directory (ENOENT)

I understand that gcc is not caseinsensitive and that it treats .C
files as
the C++ files, but what about cc1plus then? Where it is from?

Interesting that even +LFN set to "n" in my env file, GCC still
think that 
test.c and test.C are different because the extension. 

Unfortunately my shell type the names in CAPITAL letters that causes
the problem.
