People who use LFNDOS should be aware that it doesn't yet support all LFN
functions fully.  So some of the DJGPP ports of GNU tools don't work
correctly with this driver.

However, no other known LFN driver does a better job.  So if you want to work
on adding LFN to DOS environments, this package is a good beginning.  Just
don't assume it's good enough for production, and be alerted to possible
messups...
