The source distribution built for me without significant problems,
both on Windows 95 and in plain DOS.  Thanks for making it such an
easy feat.

Apart of the problems reported by Andris, I saw a few more:

 - gdb/config.h #undef's HAVE_WCTYPE_H, although v2.02 does have this
   header.  I think this is because the stock v2.02 version of that
   header won't compile.  I have a corrected version, so running the
   configure script defined HAVE_WCTYPE_H, as I think it would for
   anybody with v2.03.

   But this triggers a problem in gnu-regex.c: when wctype.h is
   available, they expect the wctype() function to be available, which
   we don't have.  I think this is a bug in gnu-regex.c, so I
   corrected it there (see below).

 - During compilation I saw 3 warnings (did you see them as well?).
   Two of them were actual bugs in readline (seems like nobody revised
   that code since v1.x days, because it used `memset' to clear the
   screen); I can actually cause GDB to crash if I invoke commands
   that use that code.

   The third warning was in `pexecute', it was mostly harmless, but I
   corrected it anyway.  While at that, I also saw that `pexecute'
   doesn't set up the return code from spawn correctly (seems like a
   left-over from v1.x days as well).

   Patches to correct these problems are attached below.  The changes
   to readline also correct an old bug whereby Ctrl-L would not clear
   the screen.

 - djconfig.sh doesn't work with the new port of Bash 2.03, because
   the new port uses the /dev/c/foo format instead of //c/foo.  I made
   a small correction to the script so that it will work with both the
   old and the new version; diffs below.

I send the rest of my comments abou the source distribution in a
separate message.

I send the diffs as a binary attachment because DJ's spam filter doesn't 
like the three X letters in some of the comments ;-).
