I'm going to upload archives of DJGPP port to ftp.delorie.com of gcc-
2.95.3 very soon. So about some changes since last update of port of
gcc-2.95.3:

gcov.exe is working (but requires LFN for that). It's in gcc2953b.zip

-mbnu210 is now the default. It's still possible to use old versions of 
binutils when command line option -mno-bnu210 is being used. To 
encourage users to to upgrade binutils, I added warning about use 
of -mno-bnu210 (so I got rather large number of warnings when 
building it, as I had to do this with binutils-2.9.1)

There were suggestion to update version string (without incrementing 
version number) for modified gcc-versions in announcement of 
gcc-2.95.3. So 'gcc -v' will now say for DJGPP:
	
gcc-2.95.3 20010315/DJGPP (release)

gcc-2.95.3 binaries for DJGPP are build under Linux (at first Linux-to-
DJGPP cross-compiler after that native compiler for DJGPP using cross-
compiler). I have used binaries of gcc-2.95.2 built in such way for more 
than half a year without problems (however they were never uploaded 
to ftp.delorie.com). It's verified that building compiler from 
gcc2953s.zip under Win98SE with DJGPP also works. Source archive 
gcc2953s.zip is generated under Win98SE as we need DJGPP
port of autoconf there.
