I don't like that attitude, but the question is: what does that mean
in practical terms?  Do GCC-supplied headers contradict ours to the
degree that it's impractical to make them compatible?  If so, we
should fight that attitude.

Last time I built GCC from scratch (which was a very long time ago),
the GCC-supplied headers were only required for building stage1 of the
compiler.  After that, you used the stage-1 binary in conjunction with
your normal system headers.  Did that change?

Could you, or someone else, post a summary of the current situation
and related problems, as far as DJGPP is concerned?
