We have again an old bug with creating temporary files in gcc.exe
(gcc-3.1) due to changes in libiberty. Specifying directory name 
which ends with directory separator may not work as expected
(thanks antti DOT koskipaa AT edu DOT stadia DOT fi  for reporting a problem).

The included patch seems to fix it (perhaps it could also be usefull for 
WIndows targets). I'm not sure however that it's required
to rerelease gcc-3.1 for DJGPP as 3.1.1 should be about after slightly more 
than a month (according http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html)
