After wrestling with it myself somewhat, I have some patches which fix all
that stuff automatically. They're obvious things to fix, I just got really
sick of changing them. I can e-mail them if you're interested.
Btw, if you're going to rebuild your libc, you might want to get the patches
for known bugs. Thomas Demmer maintains an FTP site of them; the address
escapes me but you could look it up in the mailing list archives. I think it
was around October 20th it was announced.

I'm glad to hear that.

I don't mind the e-mail either, but cc'ing to djgpp AT delorie DOT com (the mailing
list) wouldn't hurt.
