Sorry for typo.

I can send some patches and simple scripts to build egcs-1.1 as 
cross-compiler to DJGPP if needed. With latest version it built without 
problems on host i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 for me (I had built already binutils 
2.9.1.0.10 and gcc-2.8.1 for target i586-pc-msdosdjgpp earlier)

After changing some assembler commands in DJLSR202 (binutils version I used
didn't want to recognize fldcww and fstpcww. I browsed sources of
libc-5.4.46 for Linux and found modified ones from DJ where 
fldcww were replaced by fldcw and fstpcww by fstpcw) and applying my 
other patches I have sent to this myling list I built patched 
DJLSR202-980907 under Linux without any problems. Installed newly built
executables and libraries and didn't met any problems yet (relinked
RHIDE for example also due to one patch from SET)

Perhaps I'll include examples how to build egcs-1.1 as cross-compiler for
DJGPP in source archive (when I'll update it)
