   When I try to configure a GNU software for djgpp now,
the configure fails because I have a Pentium 4
that is recognized as a i786
but the main configure seems to only recognize
i[3456]86-*-msdosdjgpp

Its not really DJGPP specific
as many other target also use i[3456]86 pattern, 
but it would probably be better if this can be fixed in the root 
GNU CVS... even if I doubt that there is a single root dir.

For your info, I tried to compile the latest GDB CVS sources 
(Eli knows why) on my Win2000 box with a Pentium 4.

The configure failed because it searched for a tgetent struct,
using 
    ../src/configure --host=i686-pc-msdosdjgpp --target=i686-pc-msdosdjgpp
was enough to solve the problem.

The problem is hat this simple change might require to patch a lot of files at the same time,
so I don't really know how to do that.
