So, this doesn't seem like a problem to the DJGPP community?  It seems to me
(based on a quick scan of this mailing list) that I'm not the first guy to
have a problem trying to build GNU source under DJGPP.

I guess I'm not buying the "I think that many changes cannot go in official
sources (especially ones to make source archive more DOS friendly)"
argument.

If the GCC source can support someof the odd-ball configurations implied by
their config.geuss script.  They can certainly support DOS boxes under
Windows 9x/NT.

I'll go see what I can stir up over there, but I quess my main point is that
if supporters of DJGPP aren't pushing to get the changes into GNU official
releases (especially GCC), who will?  And, if noone's demanding they include
the support, why wouldn't they leave it out?

This is only partially a flame.  I'd really like to see how the major
contributors to DJGPP feel about this.  DJ?  Andris?
