Hello,

As I wrote in djgpp AT delorie DOT com, I'm still unable
to build GDB. However, I tried to configure GDB
myself but configure scripts failed on following
test:
---
checking for ld used by GCC... no
configure: error: no acceptable ld found in $PATH
Configure in c:/djgpp/gnu/gdb-4.18.original/opcodes failed, exiting.
---
I checked out and saw following in configure script:
ac_prog=ld
if test "$ac_cv_prog_gcc" = yes; then
  # Check if gcc -print-prog-name=ld gives a path.
  echo $ac_n "checking for ld used by GCC""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:1329: checking for ld used by GCC" >&5
  ac_prog=`($CC -print-prog-name=ld) 2>&5`
  case "$ac_prog" in
  # Accept absolute paths.
  /* | [A-Za-z]:\\*)
---
Note that the check above accepts only backslashes, but
gcc prints program path with forward slashes. So I fixed
this by changing line above to
/* | [A-Za-z]:[\\/]*)
I patched configures and aclocal.m4s but aren't aclocal.m4
generated somewhere else? In that case the actual bug 
is there, but I couldn't find it.

Now that configure test succeeds, but I'm still unable 
to build GDB :(

Bye,
Laurynas Biveinis
