Starting with the DJGPP ports of gcc-3.x, file names with suffix '.r'
(RATFOR) are no longer processed correctly by g77 -- the suffix is
recognized and the RATFOR translator is invoked but the translated output is
'dumped' to stdout (rather than being redirected to the compiler input) and
g77 tries to compile an empty file.  I have verified that the cygwin and
mingw ports gcc-3.x also exhibit the same behavior but have not yet had time
to install gcc-3.x and check this problem under any other environments.

Does anyone know if this problem is only associated with the Win9X ports of
gcc-3.x or if it is a generic GCC 3.X problem?  So far I have not been able
to find any bug reports or any notice that the feature had been removed.
