2 packages which do not prevent GCC from building were not installed. They were however installed
in earlier build environment under Windows Vista. One of them (ICL) do not even have official DJGPP
port.

Anyway this difference is much less significant than unreliable work under Win10 32 bit (I do not
know how old version would work under WIndows 7). So installing or building these packages can be done
before building next DJGPP releases of GCC

The second one was libiconv. libcpp uses it for charset conversion when available but seems to be able
to do that also without
