I usually go directly to ftp.gnu.org, and it usually works fast
enough. But then I mostly do this when North America is asleep.
Also, it might be that everybody and their dog were downloading that
release together with you.

I understand that you are building it on a Unix host. Does this mean
that it won't build on DOS/Windows?

GDB 4.16 was configured by a series of batch files, IIRC. I guess
your best bet would be to fetch gdb416s.zip from any DJGPP site and
look into the djgpp subdirectory inside there, to see how it was
done. I'm not suggesting that this is how you should do it for 4.17,
but it might answer all kinds of questions. I have 4.16 source tree
on my machine, so I could try to help you out with some questions, if
Robert is unavailable or doesn't remember what he did.
I also am not sure why do you need an option to configure GDB for
DJGPP. Doesn't "sh ./configure pc-i386-msdosdjgpp" work as expected?
If you didn't try that, please do; I think this is how it *should*
work, even if it doesn't now.

gdb-4.16/gdb/config/i386 has these files:
nm-i386v.h tm-i386.h tm-i386v.h xm-go32.h

I do that in a separate message.
