You're right. But, as Andris stated, GCC's specs uses crtf.o which
isn't useful under DJGPP 2.02. Thus, both specs and djgpp.djl scripts
should be synchronized.

Probably after releasing EGCS 1.1.1 for DJGPP, gcc 2.7.x could be
dropped? Then we'll have gcc 2.8.1.1 which is perfectly working with C
and more stable than GCC 2.7.x, but has problems with C++, and EGCS
1.1.1, which is more useful for C++ developers. Also GCC 2.7.x has
many bugs and disfeatures in C++ implementation, the most known is
exception support.
