Use "make -k" instead of just "make".  The Makefile tries very hard to 
work for both LFN and non-LFN platforms, which isn't easy...

Thanks for reminding me, I will add this to the djgpp/README file.

Using --no-split is not a good idea for GDB, since the manual is very 
large.

The best way would be to pass "-o gdb" switch to makeinfo, so that we 
have gdb-1, gdb-2, etc. (and similarly for gdbint and stabs).  I will see 
if I can convince the GDB maintainers to make this switch after 5.0 is
out.

This is not yet working fully.  This script needs the expected output 
files (to compare the actual output against them), and I didn't yet have 
enough time to prepare all of them.  In any case, the expected output 
files will not be in the official distro, since the GDB maintainers 
didn't like that idea.  So these files will most probably be only 
available in the DJGPP source distribution for GDB.  That's why I 
postponed the creation of these files for the time being.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
