I had posted a message earlier about my inability to complete the build of
a cross compiler for DJGPP on GNU/Linux. I have now managed to complete
the build. Some things I learnt along the way:

1. ldscripts are incorrectly built if I use bash2.0 (on SuSE 5.3). The
   genscripts.sh adds multiple braces. I solved this by reverting back to
   bash1.

2. the configure script for gcc-2.8.1 uses --prefix=/usr by default. With
   default value, the include files are incorrectly flagged as not
   available by the cross compiler. I solved this by explicitly giving
   --prefix=/usr/local to configure. Even objc/ related files find the
   correct headers.

I would like to thank Nate and DJ for their interest and for their prompt
and timely help.

With warm regards
Gurunandan
