Never seen that problem. And it's not my build anyways, it's upstream
stock .EXE built by Elvis (text editor) dude (Steve Kirkendall or
whomever). It's a simple, single .c file (p.d.) to rebuild, though, so
if you're worried, just recompile it.
I'm sure somebody around here can rebuild it for you with various
compilers. (All I have is OpenWatcom, TC201, TC++101. Well, and other
386+ things like SmallerC.)
Oh, another thing my one-flop DJGPP had was DJTAR (but 2.04 version,
which supports .tar.bz2 also). That can also ("-x") unpack .tar,
.tar.gz (but not .gz by itself!), .zip (but only Stored or Deflate
methods). I also vaguely remember that some utils there were included
as "source only" (to save ultimate space) since they were easy to
recompile (with, obviously, itself). I do still use that compiler from
time to time, more as a minimal setup for simple things, but I haven't
used it heavily for anything big (obviously). It was supposed to be
the spiritual successor to EZ-GCC (which was ancient DJGPP v1 by some
other dude, albeit multi-floppy only), so I sometimes call it "ezgcc2"
(or just "my one-floppy DJGPP setup"). And yes, full sources are on my
Google Site (not that anybody cares). I actually rely on it for many
"tests" in MetaDOS, out of simplicity.
