There are many LFN related problems with original egcs sources (including
header STL and libg++ header files. Therefore I don't think we'll be able
to rename them all in original egcs sources. Therefore I suggest to sty
with current approach: running some shell script that modifies egcs
sources (together with related packages) for DJGPP. Source archive for
DJGPP should already contain changes done by this script. 

Even more, current sources of egcs-1.1.2 for DJGPP HAVE LFN related
problems and will not build without LFN support. I hope I'll be able to
resolve them in future (but I'm not sure of it). Help is welcome of
course. Binaries are fully usable without LFN support so problems with
sources influences only poeple who are going to build egcs from sources
(I think rather small part of users). They currently will need LFN
support.

Original question were about building cross-compiler. I previously used
slightly modified original sources for that purpose but not ones for
DJGPP. Therefore I mentioned some changes I suggest for that purpose.
