Hi!

Seems that I have run into problems building gcc-2.95 using old 
bash-1.14.7 binaries (All works perfectly with latest test versions of 
bash-2.0.3):

build.bat calls 

	redir -eo sh ./djbuild1.sh config >djconfig.log

This fails to generate correct Makefile first time but suceeds 
second time (of course if I'm keeping generated files from first time)

If I calling directly
	sh djbuild.sh config

I'm getting completely different failure much more early. So running
sh djbuild.sh config from redir changes the behaviour. 

As I said all is Ok with bash-2.0.3.

Similar things doesn't happen with egcs-19990714

After that I tried to place sources in a different directory:
	c:/djgpp/gnu/gcc-2.95       failure (also if I named snapshot so)
	c:/djgpp/gnu/gcc-2.95s     Ok
	c:/Devel/build/gcc-2.95     Ok (I built earlier snapshots under 	
						          c:/Devel/build)

So it seems very likely I have suceeded to trigger some bug in 
DJGPP port of bash-1.14.7.

Would it be acceptable to ask poeple to use bash-2.0.3 for building
gcc-2.95? Such bugs in bash-1.14.7 could be very annoying and I 
don't see any other solution.
