I thank you for the advice. BTW : Where are those docs?

My main interest was merging the g77 0.5.19.1 sources with the
gcc sources , applying the patches , and recompiling the whole
thing. 

It was my understanding that g77 would only be built in
stage2. Correct me if I am wrong. 
( g77 0.5.19.1 fixes some bugs in complex arithmetic operations 
relative to the 0.5.19 binary that is on simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu )

Alas, the DJGPP version of patch seems to fail for me also , saying
it can't create backups. Presumably an LFN problem ??
