Using my symlink system mentioned in the `links to stubs' thread, you could have symlinks from $(DJDIR)/bin/* to $(DJDIR)/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/*. Hmm, I'll probably have to give it the ability to use environment variables and relative paths. Sigh, I've *GOT* to get around to getting my djgpp installation going again, I've been using Linux for too long :) and my djgpp install got nuked for space reasons befor I got my bigger drive and I never got around to fixing it. Actually, getting my symlinks into djgpp just might be the motivating factor (it doesn't help that I havn't quite got dosemu configured properly so it doesn't quite cooperate with djgpp).
