The problem in this case is that DJGPP doesn't support LFN, but the
shell which runs config.bat does.  We don't have such disparity on any
other supported platform: they all either have LFN throughout or
don't.

If you want to see similar problems on Windows 9X, set LFN=n, unzip
Emacs, and try to build it.  You will see a spectacular failure.
