It's so with my DJGPP binaries of gcc-2.95.3-test3 I'm using (-mbnu210 
is default unless -mno-bnu210 is specified). I don't see any special  
reason to change this for gcc-2.95.3 release when it will appear

The situation is different with gcc-3.0: as far as I understood gcc-2.97
currently cannot be bootstrapped for DJGPP if  -mbnu210 is not 
removed.

Maybe it's possible to still provide these options simply for 
compatibility for some time without actually using them (maybe 
warning that this option is obsolete and is ignored would be OK.
However I don't know whether it can easily be done)
