This isn't _exactly_ about DJGPP... =)

I availed myself of the huge source dist for GCC 2.7.2 (about 28Meg when 
completely unzipped). I couldn't understand the instructions, so I just 
did a make (edited the Makefile somewhat first...)

Surprisingly, this step produced a set of executables, but the instructions
say something about recompiling GCC with itself or something... a pretty 
long step. It seems like this is just about checking the compiler. Can I 
skip this step? after all, I already have a set of executables.

Is it safe to use my old header files, or does each new version of GCC 
come with a new set of headers? after the make finishes its mess, I have 
the executables in a path off the main source tree. Can I transfer these 
directly to my DJGPP bin directory?

Thanks.

=)
