identifiers should not begin with underscores, this is "reserved
namespace" in Ansi-/ISO-C. This is intended for compiler and library
writers who contribute to that particular compiler. From the distance (I
prefer Gnu make, not Dmake) I'd say that dmake uses an internal function
name of "_chdir" which is not allowed since it may conflict with
internal functions of the runtime library. You hit one of those
possibilities :)

Remove the "void" after PUBLIC and make sure that the program
exits with a well-defined exit code. In Ansi-C (this is synonym to ISO-C)
main *must* return an int. Most time it works with "void", and a
lot of books teach it that way, but it is definitely wrong. main() is
called by the runtime environment of the compiled program and is expected
to return an exit code of type "int".
