Dev-C++ - [Build Error] [main.o] Error 2816

Question

I started a new project and I am trying to compile using defaults on Microsoft Windows 10. I need to compile for Windows 98 for a specific project. The compiler shows the following error message [Build Error] [main.o] Error 2816.

This is the contents of main.cpp:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I have no idea what this error means, and I did not find anything using Google. Any ideas?

Edit - Compile log

Maybe this answer is too late but it would be helpful for the others.

The file "make.exe" is not working well with the Dev C++. Try to download an old version of Dev C++ with the old set of files for the compiling softwares of MinGW.
