As I already said earlier, (according some my tests) it seems that
this hack didn't want to work with gcc-2.96 development versions.
I haven't tested it for DJGPP about a month, but it worked
with gcc 2.96 20000117 compiled for target i586-pc-linux-gnu. I
still think that we should drop such hacks in future. Forcing user to
include stdio.h or directly sys/version.h is not so terrible.

Sorry for returning to this topic once more
