I really didn't do much changes. Most significant reason for this update
was some critical problems with version available from clio.rice.edu

There were rather many failures also for me. The main thing I wanted to
achieve was stable enough version, which I could use to configure and build
various packages for DJGPP (also to run my own scripts). Not much other tests
were done and I don't plan tham in near future.
