WIP means Work In Progress.  It indicates that the given bug has been
fixed in the *next* version of DJGPP, which has not been released yet.  :)
However, the alphas of a number of new programs are available from DJ's
ftp site.

If you're seriously interested in the WIP, you could subscribe to the DJGPP
developers' mailing list (pointers on DJ's web page).

BTW, if it's libm.a you're interested in, somebody did put a patched
version up for ftp a short while ago.  I don't recall the exact location;
perhaps someone else on the group remembers.  :)  I can also email you the
fixed version if you like (it's about 68K uuencoded).

John
