The problem was simpler than I expected: there were some additional files
which caused problems and really were not supposed to be built for DJGPP
at all (I did not notice earlier the instructions to leave them out if
sockets are not supported)

Probably.

One could also expect problems for FORTRAN or Objective-C: if the library
is built using newer libc.a and used with older one then some used functions
may not be found in old one. I have however no time to check all possibilities
to mess things up.
