No; it actually hasn't been officially ported yet. If you did accomplish
that, it would be great.

You could also try to take the 2.8.0 DJGPP sources and try to apply the GNU
2.8.0-2.8.1 diff. It might be easier than trying to integrate all the DJGPP
changes (though I really don't know). Just a thought...
