I don't know if this helps, but so far I have found the following issues
with Bash & LIBC:
1) Bash 2.04 hacked to work on Win 2K read fails - it does not wait for user
input. In a few hours updated source & binary using LIBC from 3-Oct will be
available from http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/main.htm .I need to do more
testing to find out where in read it fails. Original Simtel 2.04 read works,
so it is either my hack to get it to work on Win2K or LIBC issue. This measn
that I cannot build Perl on Win 2K
2) Bash 2.05 set doesn't allow GCC to be built. This is where the set
command puts quotes around the output, but make cannot deciper this
correctly. This measn that I cannot use this to build GCC on Win 2K.

These Bash issues are currently on top of my to do list that needs to be
worked on for DJGPP and Win 2K as it currently stands.
