I found myself in the need of using rtti. I found out that there's the
special command line option "-frtti" to enable it. I used that, but
the problem is that iostream.h doesn't compile. The first of many
errors is:

in file streambu.h (included from iostream.h) line 250: failed to
build type description for 'ios', maybe typeinfo.h not included.

So I included that, but of course nothing changed. So how come this
option doesn't even work with the original djgpp headers? BTW, my part
of the code didn't cause errors (I just did a dynamic_cast).

Any help would be appreciated.
