I took a quick shot at 3.1.  It chokes on lib/sh/getcwd.c line 172,
because of a reference to dirent->d_fileno, which doesn't exist on
DJGPP.  I see something nearly identical in 2.05b - but that file
doesn't seem to be being compiled at all, and I'm quite confused
as to why that's the case.  This may be a matter of doing too much
porting on not enough sleep, though.

Has anyone figured out a fix for the current version?  I took a
crack at it, and rapidly realized quite how much I was in over my
head... :-P
This is the #1 issue with DJGPP that I have, these days - it
prevents a lot of "configure"-style scripts from running under
v2.04, and I find myself needing a lot of features that are
missing in v2.03.
