I've installed 2.02 yesterday and found no errors or bugs at all
either in LFN=n or in LFN=y modes. GCC 2.8.1 works without troubles
even with huge C++ projects (one exception: I've used test version of
BNU 2.9.1, as BNU 2.8.X doesn't work with C++'s exceptions correctly).

Definitely yes. Somebody should compare specs from GCC 2.8.1 and DJGPP 2.02
distribution and post combined version. Probably I'll do this during
next week.

djgpp.djl from GCC 2.8.1 uses COFF-GO32-EXE as default output format
while DJGPP 2.02's djgpp.djl uses COFF-GO32.
