Well, unless dxegen is recompiled with LD=gcc or LD=ld, it will be
broken when distributed, because if you would try to run the dxegen
that is generated while compiling djdev*.zip, it will try to call
/usr/local/i386-go32-msdos/bin/ld.

Is dxegen from djdev*.zip supposed to work natively?

If it is, then I think a little modification to dxegen.c would be
nice, where it takes which linker to use either from the environment
or from a command line parameter. Right?
Which one would you prefer? Or if both is warranted in which order?

If it isn't then perhaps it should be deleted from djdev*.zip?
