This still doesn't build for me if I just type "bash build.sh",
without running the configure script.  The problem seems to be that
all the Makefile's say this:

    BUILD_DIR = c:/djgpp/gnu/bash-2.03

Since my DJGPP tree is not rooted at c:/djgpp, Make cannot find
$(BUILD_DIR)/config.h, which it needs because many .o files depend on
it.

A similar problem happens with INSTALL: some Makefile's say this:

    INSTALL = c:/djgpp/bin/ginstall -c

and some even this:

    INSTALL = ../../c:/djgpp/bin/ginstall -c

I think these problems will be solved if you configure with
--prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR, or edit your config.site file to use this
prefix by default.

Also, it seems like the distribution is compiled with HAVE_GETTEXT
defined, because GCC prints a warning for a line that calls `gettext'
(probably because its prototype is nowehere to be found).  The warning
is not what worries me though: the *real* problem is that we are
linking in `gettext' fron conio.c, which, if called, would probably
crash the program.

I suggest to configure with the --disable-nls option, since NLS is not
supported in this port.
