Ok, now I can answer my own post.

-: -: This is a port of GNU Bison 1.30 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
-: 
-: Is it possible to build this out of the box (under bash), using the usual
-: configure/make/install procedure?

No.  Even with the djgpp-specific `config.site' are still some problems
(with path parsing when looking for executables).

-: The DOS batch file supplied with the source archive complains
-: about insufficient environment space, no matter how much environment space
-: I request at boot time

Only because this error handler is invoked too generally;  the actual
error may well have nothing to do with the size of the environment.

BTW, I could not get the file djgpp/config.bat to run without first
shortening several of its command lines (plain DOS 5.0).  The batch
file also appears to be sensitive to the _order_ of its arguments,
and _all_ arguments must be specified, e.g.,

	djgpp\config.bat no-nls no-cache no-dep .

YMMV.
