I fully agree with Andris: while pgcc-1.1.3 was (almost) stable for Linux,
I can't recommend using pgcc-2.95.1 for DJGPP. Building it for DJGPP was
really easy with Andris's patch for gcc-2.95.1, but its optimization levels
-O5, -O6 and switch -mpentium are badly broken. Building of following packages 
(libsocket, libwin, tvision) failed with "Internal Compiler Error", crashes,
endless compilations...

I'll do my best to report bugs I found in PGCC, but while there is no
bugfix release for PGCC 2.95.1, I don't suggest to use it.
