Probably problem with DJGPP instalation. DJGPP ports of gcc-2.8.1
except the latest release (June 6, 1998) goes into infinite loop if
it is not getting environment variable DJDIR that should be defined 
in DJGPP.ENV. Check if environment variable DJGPP is pointing to
Your DJGPP.ENV (or download latest update mentioned above as
I added there output of error messages about such problems)
