I'm trying to rebuild gcc with the "stabs" patch to "go32.h" from
SET's site, and (just for the heck of it) tried a "make -n" first.
The make complained that there was:

No rule to make target `c-parse.gperf', needed by `c-gperf.h'.

I noticed that there is a c-parse.gpe (same long name as 8.3 name) in
the gnu\gcc2721 directory, and I presume that is the needed file, but
why is the name different?  I unzipped with WinZip v6.2, the latest
release, and I've had no trouble with long names and WinZip before.
WinZip shows the name as "c-parse.gpe" inside the zip as well.

Is this a sign of some problem with the gcc2721s.zip archive?  Were
names accidentally truncated when it was built?  Or did I miss some
important instructions in a readme somewhere?

I also noticed that the "configur.bat" file in the gnu\gcc2721
directory has these lines in it:

 :call_go32
 call config\msdos\configure %1 %2 %3 %4
                   ^^^^^^^^^

Well, there is a file config\msdos\configur.bat, but even under LFN=Y
the name is *not* "configure.bat".  The LFN name is the same as the
8.3 name:

H:\GNU\gcc-2721>dir config\msdos

 Volume in drive H has no label
 Volume Serial Number is 15E4-116F
 Directory of H:\GNU\gcc-2721\config\msdos

TIA for any help or info you can provide.
