So I did some more testing, and this is what I found:

When I have the Simtel bash in my %DJGPP%\bin, I get all the crazy errors
that seem to indicate something is seriously wrong with my distribution (it
could be because all of my DJGPP tools are the ones downloaded from rice.edu
for 204 - I do not have the Simtel loaded at the moment):

d:/user/djgpp/bin/as.exe: bfd assertion fail
/dj204/gnu/binutl-2.112/bfd/coff-i386.c:529
d:\user\djgpp\tmp\cc0mzF8o.s:8883: Error: cannot represent relocation type
BFD_RELOC_386_GOT32
make.exe[2]: *** [xslt.lo] Error 1


When I swap the Simtel bash out, and put in the one from rice.edu(the one I
already described to you), I get a different error:

D:\\USER\\DJGPP\\bin\\gcc.exe -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../libxslt
 -I/dev/env/DJDIR/include/libxml2/libxml -I/dev/env/DJDIR/include/libxml2 -g
 -O2 -c xslt.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/xslt.lo
../libtool: D:\USER\DJGPP\bin\gcc.exe: command not found


This is what I think: Simtel bash is incompatible with my rice.edu
installation - make needs bash to run and they have to be compatible.
But it just so happens that the rice.edu bash binary doesn't work... (can't
find my compiler, anyhow)

I think bash from rice.edu needs to be fixed.
