Thank you for the pointer.  The change from the old way to handle the
native support to the new way of initializing struct target_ops inf_child_ops
by inf_child_target and go32_target seems to be the source of the difficulties.
At least go32_ops.to_insert_breakpoint and go32_ops.to_remove_breakpoint are
not set to the corresponding equivalent new variables for DJGPP. This makes
the current version of GDB useless for DJGPP.  There may be even more missing
variables.  It will take same days until I become familiar enough with the old
code and the new code to be able to fix this.  As soon as I have figured out
how to fix this I will propose a patch for GDB.

Regards,
Juan M. Guerrero
