I think this is a problem with the way you configure Fileutils. They
should never try to use ioctl.h on MS-DOS/DJGPP v2.0 because DOS ioctl is
NOT what Unix programs expect ioctl to be. Try using the header
<sys/config.h> from the DJGPP v2 distribution as the replacemenmt for
config.h expected by GNU Fileutils.
DJGPP indeed doesn't come with any header called ioctl.h. I don't know
how did you get away with it in September.
