Sounds like a good reason to have a separate driver, don't you think?  If 
people where to use wingcc or some such, then you could make wingcc.exe 
that's a symlink to gcc.exe, and have a separate section in DJGPP.ENV 
that redefines all variables like INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH to point 
to RSXNT directories.

Will this solve the problems?

The above trick with a separate driver will fix this as well, no?
