Hi all,
I have performed multiple successful build of the linux cross compiler for
the msdosdjgpp target using:
    gcc321s2.zip to patch vanilla gcc-3.2.1.tar.gz

The gcc-3.2.1 cross compiler was build tested using both:
    djcrx203.zip and djcrx204_alpha.zip

Additionally, builds are also successful using gcc-3.2.1 native compiler,
kernel-2.4.20, and Mandrake 9.

The latest revision of:
Linux x86 Host Cross Compiler HOWTO for the DJGPP Target
can be found here:
http://users.erols.com/praccompsol/djgpp/linux-x-djgpp-revised.txt

Changes were mostly subtle.. i.e. updated filenames, link updates, some
spelling/syntax corrections, etc.

Thank you Andris and everyone for the new port.
Charles W.


p.s.
I have used the cross compiler for a few small c++ projects which use a fair
portion of the c and c++ standard library including oop features and stl and
so far all has worked as expected.  I realize that the testsuite is removed
by Andris' shell script since dos executables do not natively run under
linux and it would seem that part of running the testsuite includes getting
runtime testcode returns.

Can anybody suggest any method for either:
A) getting the testsuite to run for the cross compiler
B) performing tests similar to the function of the testsuite

I am simply seeking awareness of any contrast in conformity with the
standard, if any, between a natively build gcc and crossgcc.
