As far as GDB is concerned, I've successfully built both GDB 6.0 and
the current development CVS snapshot, but only from the source
directory.  (The patches to do that, which I sent to this list a week
or so ago, are already in the GDB CVS.)  I currently don't have time
to debug and fix the build outside the source directory, especially
not on Windows XP, sorry.  Just keeping GDB in CVS buildable by DJGPP,
and even that only on Windows 9x and only from the source directory, is
all I can promise now and for the observable future.
