i'm manually entering each of the commands in \DMAKE\EMX\MAKE.CMD and
here's what i get for the first...

===== snip =====
H:\dmake >gcc -c -I. -Iemx -DOS2 -U__GNUC__ -Zmtd -O infer.c
In file included from extern.h:66,
                 from infer.c:40:
emx\public.h:161: conflicting types for `_chdir'
H:\EMX\INCLUDE\stdlib.h:194: previous declaration of `_chdir'
===== snip =====

in looking at \DMAKE\EMX\PUBLIC.H, i see this...

   int _chdir ANSI((char *));

in looking at \EMX\INCLUDE\STDLIB.H, i see this...

   int _chdir (__const__ char *);

they are definitely not the same and the message doesn't really mean
anything to me other than there is an error...
