Not a solution, but probably an explanation. gcc was compiled as is, i.e.
from the GNU UNIX sources, thus also using the UNIX pathname convention.
Probably you have not set the necessary environment variables according to
that style (dont write D:\ANYWHERE, but instead D:/ANYWHERE), or there is 
really a problem with DOS 4.01. I still use 3.3, and it works fine (BTW:
it is apparently a hidden feature of the MSDOS Kernel (INT21) to accept
Unix style path names. It is just the F* COMMAND.COM that prevents e.g.
using RENAME as a MOVE, and other nice features).

I think they are just appearing.
