It's a misfeature of DJGPP in general, for which unfortunately there's no 
work-around: you cannot use directories named x:/dev on _any_ drive.  You 
can either rename it to something like x:/develop or push it down the 
directory tree, as in x:/prog/dev.

See section 22.21 of the DJGPP FAQ list for more about this.
