I'm OK with saying that djgpp version Z is only supported with gcc
version X and binutils version Y, or newer, if we must.  I'm OK with
saying gcc version A requires binutils version B or higher too.  This
is semi-standard practice elsewhere, we just need to make sure that
the uninformed user does the right thing by default most of the time.
