My main question is this: does anybody here regularly use them, either in pure DOS with the DJGPP version or on other OSes (GNU/Linux, Win32, Mac OS X)?? And if so, have you ever rebuilt any of them yourselves or do you just use stock versions? And even more specifically, what do you use them for? (But I'm not getting my hopes up since nobody responded to "make alternatives" thread....)
