I hope this explains it (as best I understand, anyways):

For instance, I use an editor called TDE. It is compiled for DOS twice (16-bit, 32-bit) and Windows. However, the 32-bit build was compiled via DJGPP 2.03p2. So, I have to rebuild w/ DJGPP 2.04 (e.g. GCC 4.2.2 in this instance). Done! Now, I do a "ln -s macro.c david.c", and "tdep david.c" (with the new 2.04-compiled TDE), and it actually ends up opening macro.c instead. So, I type "david" in the "david.c" file, save, close. Now open macro.c, and it miraculously says "david" at the top! See? :-)
