Try taking \TC\BIN out of your path. It appears that Turbo C and Gnu
CC both use the "usual" names for the compiler passes e.g. CPP, so if
your path points to Turbo C first it will run some passes out of the
wrong directory.

I've got a similar setup (Compaq with Turbo C) and I noticed a similar
problem. I don't know how I'm going to get TC and GCC to coexist yet.
