Maybe

At least some long time ago there were discussion that gcc will break if
current directory will contain as.exe or ld.exe. Therefore MD_EXEC_PREFIX=$DJDIR/bin
were used. Maybe we can get rid of it. 

One more suggestion:

When testing gcc-2.96 for DJGPP I suggest to comment out LIBRARY_PATH in
DJGPP.ENV.  In earlier message I wrote nonsense about problems with searching
include files:

Really it was so: gcc-2.96 didn't found $DJDIR/lib as gcc tried to use relative
prefix. It seems that it is the same problem You met with MD_EXEC_PREFIX
