Anyway we can use it for DJGPP as to get eh-frame optimization working we
should use BFD assembler (as.exe from binutils-2.9.1 built as BFD assembler
is broken, it works with current development snapshots but they have other
problems fror DJGPP). I myself have both binutils snapshot and patched 
dwarf2out.c, but this is not acceptable for normal users.
