You didn't install the port of Sh-utils (v2gnu/shl112b.zip).  The
batch file calls `test.exe' from there.  I think you will also need
Sh-utils for running Make.  Anyway, I never tried to build the package
without Sh-utils, so it might as well not work.  Note that the
djgpp/README file explicitly lists Sh-utils among the packages you
need to install before you try building Fileutils.

I'm guessing that you have an old port of Bash.  Please download and
install the latest bsh1147b.zip from DJGPP archives.

Btw, why do you need to run CONFIG.BAT at all?  The package comes
pre-configured for DJGPP, so you only need to say "make" and watch it
build itself.  (Anyway, I *did* test the distribution with and without
running CONFIG.BAT, so it should work both ways.)
