This is more political than technical issue. So it is even harder to
make gcc maintainers change their minds. I think we won't get more replies
from them, unless Jeff Law won't skip my mail when he returns.

I think I will make a patch for DJGPP which replaces __dj_include_foo_h_
sentinels with _ANSI_FOO_H_ and will change
__DJ_foo_t
#undef __DJ_foo_t
#define __DJ_foo_t

to

#ifndef _FOO_T_DEFINED_
__DJ_foo_t
#define _FOO_T_DEFINED_
#endif

I suggest leaving politics aside for a while and fix technical
issues at first.
