A .comment section just contains an id that say in effect, "compiled by gcc 
3.0" that takes the place of those 'gcc2_compiled' symbols. gcc 3.0 generates 
an .ident directive with the id and gas puts the text into the .comment 
section. For dxes, we can either lump the section in with all others, or 
discard it since it's only an id string.

I think so too.

If gcc 3.0 does require binutils 2.11, then it seems to me it need not use 
djgpp.djl at all.
