I have DJGPP with gcc 4.72 working on a Linux box (Fedora), and I'm
using DOSemu.  I want to build the libc.a library from source.  I
found a post from someone who tried this a few years back, and I
looked at the CVS site, but am usure of the process.  I was able to
download and install the tar.gz file of the CVS source, but when I
connected to the "src" directory, and tried to run a "make", I got
errors indicating "egrep" and "sed" were not found.  I can compile a
large project successfully with DJGPP running under DOSemu, on my
Fedora Linux environment, but I cannot find any information on
building the "libc.a" library from source.   I have a very nasty bug
related to use of floating-double that looks like it can be corrected
by patching some of the ansi functions in stdio, but first I need to
be able to successfully compile libc.a.   Is there any current
documentation suggesting how this might be done?  Thanx.
