I don't think I've seen anyone mention anything about this before. After
downloading and building js[1], a free JavaScript interpreter, on my Linux
box I decided to have a go and see if it would build using DJGPP.

After setting CC=gcc the configure script ran fine using bash and, after
making these changes:

in case this was of interest to anyone else.
