I thought you were asking how did GCC find its auxiliary files and 
libraries without the /dev/env paths present in the sources.  I tried to 
explain this by special code added by Robert to construct those paths
from what getenv("DJDIR") returned.  IIRC, that is the reason why GCC
refuses to run if DJGPP or DJDIR are not defined in the environment.

I didn't understand you were talking about xgcc.  I don't think your 
message indicated that the problem was limited to building GCC.  I 
thought the question was about running GCC after it is already built.
