Well, I don't have any NTVDMs anymore, so I did weakly try under DOSEMU.

But it kept choking on mbrtowc, even though I did --disable-nls.
Yes, I was running './configure' under Bash, which is apparently wrong
here. I didn't want to report back to you just for that, but now I see
that even trying to rebuild old 4.1.4 has the same problem.

I see that your CONFIG.BAT moves a few files, and doing that manually
seems to build it and work okay. That's probably mentioned in the
docs somewhere, dunno! My bad.

As an aside, A86 is not the preferred assembler, but I targeted it
because it was easy. Better would be NASM or FASM, obviously, but
I left those as sed scripts, for now. The only new improvement in
the AWK script is hardcoded line numbers for short jumps. Not
crucial, but at least it's instruction-identical (not byte-identical)
to the TASM multi-pass output.
