There shouldn't be any problem at all.  I've heard from several
people who are using more recent versions of gcc and binutils
than the ones RSXNTDJ expects, and they say that there have been
no problems.  One person even said that PGCC seems to work fine.

I recently designed a new distribution for RSXNTDJ that should
be easier to install and use, and designed to work with the
newer tools.  I haven't finished it yet, but I'll announce here
when I think it's ready.  It might be a patching ZIP, with new
installation instructions and updates to various files, or it
might be a whole new distribution -- but I'm not sure about the
legality of that, since RSXNTDJ is not under the same sort of
license as djgpp.  I probably won't be releasing this until
after the djgpp v2.02 release.

I'd also appreciate the help of anybody who uses RSXNTDJ a lot,
for testing purposes -- I need to make sure my changes don't
break anything.  Please let me know if you can help or have any
suggestions for patches that should be included in this.
