From partial logs that I had on the disk it seems that in the direcory
\djgpp.2\gnu\gcc-3.02\build.djg\i586-pc-msdosdjgpp\libstdc++-v3\src
an attempt was made to delete the subdirectory 
.libs\libstdc++.lax
that resulted in deleteion of  \ instead

the rm -rf command was invoked from within make. Well, I'll try to
experiment with the rm command alone first

the root dir contains these dirs
\1234567890
\djgpp
\djgpp2 
and they were appended to .libs/libstdc++.lax/
(while the subdirectories below .libs/libstdc++.lax/ should have been
instead)

this must be sort of rm -rf pathname
the command is invoked from
:\djgpp.2\gnu\gcc-3.02\build.djg\i586-pc-msdosdjgpp\libstdc++-v3\src\Makefil
e

I don't know the details because part of the gcc-3.01 source directory was
lost 
Since I have all the stuff on CD's  I'm going to investigate this problem
real soon.
