66KB of free conventional memory? what gives??

What does "mem /c" display at this point?

What happens if, after the failure, you manually invoke the same
command that the configure script tried to run to check that GCC ``can
create executables''?

I'm asking because, even with 66KB of low memory, we should have
enough for several levels of nestiong on Windows.  Unless this:

>    1048576 bytes total contiguous extended memory
>          0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
>     941056 bytes available XMS memory
>            MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area

means that there's no DPMI memory as well.  But if that's so, you
should see a message from the stub about "No DPMI memory" or
something.
