I didn't take any offense, but the HOWTO doesn't say anything that isn't 
in the latest release of the FAQ.  IMHO, the HOWTO is a bit too lengthy 
for the average patience of many newbies who are eager to compile their 
First C++ Program Ever.

Also, the HOWTO is somewhat outdated.  When it was originally written, 
the FAQ was long in a need of an update so the HOWTO did fill an 
important niche then.  But since then, GCC got several new releases,
the error messages changed a bit, djgpp.env includes the RHIDE-related 
variables right out of the box, the FAQ has changed its wording (the 
section where this problem is discussed changed), and there's a 
new version of RHIDE that doesn't have the bug in the first place.  The
problems with trailing whitespace in djgpp.env are also gone.

So I'd say nowadays the FAQ is a better place to look for the solution to 
this problem, unless someone updates the HOWTO to make it more accurate.
