Test program attached.  Output when compiling in Cygwin, Gnu/Linux or MacOSX 
is as expected:

ss1: rem 0
ss2: rem 0
ss3: rem 0
ss4: rem 0

but for djgpp (didn't find gcc 3.3.3, but 3.3.4):

D:\src>gcc -v
Reading specs from d:/djgpp/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/3.34/specs
Configured with: /gcc/gnu/gcc-3.34/configure djgpp --prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR --dis
able-nls
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.3.4

D:\src>make align
gcc     align.c   -o align

D:\src>align
ss1: rem 4
ss2: rem 4
ss3: rem 4
ss4: rem 4

Very strange, considering Gnu/Linux and Cygwin are on the same machine.
