Also perhaps I'll try the way of enabling exceptions provided with gcc (and egcs). crtf.o in gcc-2.8.1 and calling __register_frame_info() from crt0.o can only be treated as workaround. Correct place for that should be crtbegin.o under $DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/"version" (at least so it is under Linux). As there is we cannot be sure these things will not change. If we are no more supporting gcc-2.7.X with DJGPP 2.02 then specs cal be safely removed from $DJDIR/lib as ports of gcc-2.8.X and egcs-1.1 already contains this file in different place. The same is with djgpp.djl. However it would be usefull to compare this file with one from gcc*b.zip and see if there is nead to update latest one.
