Only one question. There is not so hard to fix small incompatibilities
(like $DJDIR in prefix, replacement of .c.X with something more suitable
for DOS, etc).

However more serious is that when macro DIR_SEPARATOR_2 were introduced to
handle 2 directory separators on DOS or Windows targets, no corresponding 
changes were done in gcc/protoize.c. I'm afraid this would require rather 
much work and I didn't continue.
