In the announcement mail I have forgotten to tell where the packages
are:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/beta/gtxt035s.zip

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/beta/gtxt035d.zip
and mirrors.

That is the reason. If you can show me a less radical solution it will be
seriously appreciated.
Unfortunately gettext.m4 always searches for gettext() in libc.a first.
For DJGPP this implies that gettext() defined in conio.h will be found
first. Of course this is the wrong gettext().
In my opinion there are two posibilities to overcome this difficulty:
1) Renaming gettext() to GetText(). Now the search for GetText() in libc.a
will fail and GetText() will be searched and found in libintl.a.
2) Modifying gettext.m4 in such a way that it will search for gettext()
in libintl.a first if DJGPP is detected. In this case gettext() need
not to be renamed. In my opinion (I am not an AUTOCONF nor m4 expert),
this is a mayor modification to gettext.m4 and will probably be
rejected by the GNU maintainer of gettext.
This is the reason why I have discarted the second alternative.

Emacs, nm and ld can be defined in config.site. I realized this to late.
