No, but it says that you must have the latest update of DJGPP-2.03:
"Following packages are required for binaries:
	binutils-2.13 or above is recommended, but possibly versions
	beginning with 2.11.2 will work (I have not tested that).

	Last update of DJGPP-2.03 (djdev203.zip) or above (earlier versions
	of djgpp203.zip are not compatible with gcc-3.2.2)"

Your djdev203b.zip is very likely to be outdated.


Attached is the patch I commited to both branches. Thanks for spotting this!
