No, I used the Makefiles that come with binutils. Just do "configure
--target=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp; make"

Not quite. gcc can build its own libgcc.a for i386 platforms because
it knows how to open-code all the math functions that libgcc provides.

I pack it a lot more than once, since it's part of the regular
distribution system, which gets used a lot for alphas and betas.

No, they can use InfoZip under unix. Heck, I *build* djgpp under Unix
that way.

I think these are reasonable assumptions, and easily handled. As for
assuming Linux, no, they more likely assume SGI IRIX, which is what I
build djgpp on.
