Subject:	[2nd] porting another gcc on MSDOS with djgpp

It's not clear exactly what you're doing from your very brief report.
You really must supply more information to get any useful feedback.
    (1) Have you run gcc -v to get a complete report of what's
failing?  What error messages, if any, did you receive?  What program
are you compiling?  What is the gcc command line?  What commands does
gcc issue?  If the compile fails before reaching ld, what ld command
did you expect?
    (2) Typically ld command lines are quite long, longer than cpp,
cc1, and as commands.  You seem to say you've modified the system
calls in the compiler control program.  Have you checked to be sure
that to make sure that your new gcc can handle long command lines?
    (3) Most of the reported GO32 bugs that affected compiling with
DJGPP had to do with make.  Still, do you have the most recent version
of GO32 (1.11.maint.4)?
    (4) How much memory do you have?  How is it configured?  Generally
there's only a problem when you use make (so that you must stack 3
copies of GO32 under the 640KB line), but I can imagine a situation
where you might run out of memory with just gcc.
