I managed to work around this problem by following the procedure:

=============================================================================
How to build "maxn.exe" and "maxnd.exe" that works:

1.     "make dos" with Watcom 10.6
2.     "make nt" with Watcom 10.6 to build W3n SLIB

When the build dies on comdll, 

3.     Switch to Watcom 11.0c
4.     Delete c:\dv\s3\comdll\w3n\*.obj
5.     "make nt" (with Watcom 11.0c)

The above steps should produce working "maxn.exe" and "maxnd.exe".
=============================================================================

Not the most ideal solution but it works. I will have to change the makefiles
to use both compilers to create a smooth build process.
