I'm trying to compile libsock version 0.74beta3 and am having nothing but
trouble.
I'm using what I'm pretty sure is a standard DJGPP install. I had no
trouble
compiling Allegro for example.
The libsock compile seems to be going well, but stops dead with

vdhcp.c: In function `vdhcp_callvxd':
vdhcp.c:114: Invalid `asm' statement:
vdhcp.c:114: fixed or forbidden register 0 (ax) was spilled for class
AREG.
make.exe[2]: *** [vdhcp.o] Error 1
make.exe[2]: Leaving directory `c:/djgpp/contrib/lsck073/src/config'
make.exe[1]: *** [comp_config] Error 2
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `c:/djgpp/contrib/lsck073/src'
make.exe: *** [library] Error 2
[exited with 2]

Any thoughts?
Should I be using a different sockets library?
note: I'm running in Windows 98SE.

Thanks in advance,
Shaun Jackman
