Please report this to the Binutils mailing list, and also to the GDB 
mailing list.

This should not be a fatal error, I think.  If you are sure that you are 
using the exact procedure outlined in gdb/config/djgpp/README, please 
report this problem as well (I suspect some change in the configury stuff 
in the current snapshot causes this failure).

This is irrelevant to the terminfo problem.  You should look in 
config.log for the test program that tries to find a term library.

However, I doubt that looking at the test program could get you 
anywhere.  The problem is that the configure script shouldn't fail for 
DJGPP if that library is absent, since the DJGPP port doesn't use such
a library and doesn't need it.
