Hello.

Below is the patch for DJGPP 2.03 for the problem with symlink
generating executable stubs for non-executable sources. I have used
this patch in release 6 of fileutils 4.1. I'll upload release 6
to DJ later today (GMT+1).

If we do another refresh of DJGPP 2.03, I think we should apply
this patch. It seems unlikely that there will be another refresh,
though.

Bye, Rich =]
