Right, I see it now...when was it introduced?

What's the difference between:
coff-go32
coff-go32-exe
coff-i386

BTW, I hacked up a specs and a linker script some, and I've been using
this:
#! /bin/sh

export GNUTARGET=coff-i386
unset LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# export LDEMULATION=i386coff

export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/gnu/bin/coff-
gcc -V 2.7.2 -b go32 ${1+"$@"}


for a while (a year?) with no problems. (on linux)
