It linker script available from either binutils or djdev20X.zip will be
incompatible with new version of GCC (as it is now) we'll have to find
some way out. I think safest for users is to temporary provide this
script (with different name) with GCC in such cases.
Currently GCC-3.0 is .0 version which will perhaps have not a very long
life time. So if such hack will be no more needed with gcc-3.0.1 (or
update of DJGPP port of GCC we'll be able to drop it at any time)
So I rebuilt gcc-3.0 today once more (some small problems with specs
and one more serious one with handling ^Z in source file). Now both
are fixed. Build CVS version of DJGPP with it.
Anyway I think I should upload archives I already have

What I'm afraid is not an updating of binutils or djdev, but requiring to
update more packages at time, that leaves more possibilities to mess
things up.
