I don't see how could letter-case matter here.  If you can show me
otherwise, please do.  The exact error message would be nice.

I suspect that the problem could be not with top_srcdir in the
top-level Makefile, but rather with this line from lib-src/Makefile:

    srcdir :=3D $(subst \,/,$(shell command.com /c cd))

Do you have command.com on FreeDOS, and if you do, what does it do
with this line?  What does $(srcdir) get set to?

It's very simple: the only other port is of GCC 4.x, and I don't want
yet to go there.
