None of this is going to work!

The only way I could do it was using the shell scripts 'djconfig.sh' &
'djmake.sh'
in the bash shell

I managed to compile all the executables 'cpp', 'cc1' etc... but had to
install them by hand into their working directories.

Hope this helps.

Stu.

This is an extract from 'readme.DJGPP' in the source archive 'gcc295s.zip':

Compiling gcc
-------------

Directory gnu/gcc-2.95 contains all sources of gcc-2.95 and additional
packages (currently libg++-2.8.1.3 only).

Sources are NOT configured. There are 2 main possibilities how to build
gcc-2.95 from sources:

1) change to directory gnu/gcc-2.95/build.djg and run BAT file
    build.bat
   For this no DJGPP program should be running at that time in the
   same DOS session (eg. don't run it directly or indirectly from
   DJGPP port of bash). It's not possible to build so large package
   under Win9X in a single step as Win9X DPMI servers leaks many resources.
   Fortunatelly returning to command.com (including one running BAT file)
   reverts these leaks. This bat file was written to split all process
   in such parts Win95 DPMI server can take. Second reason was to
   simulate bootstraping gcc which was impossible in other way due to
   absence of fully functional symbolic links.

   This bat file redirects output of each step to file. Use some
   program that allows to view this file from other DOS session
   to see the progress of building.

2) using scripts djconfig.sh and djmake.sh which are located in the
   same directory.

   To configure sources run
 sh djconfig.sh [any-additional-paramter]

   After that run
 sh djmake.sh [any-additional-paramter]
   to build gcc-2.95. As I already mentioned building will crash some times
   due to Win95 DPMI server bugs. You may need even to remove some generated
   directory if this crash will happen in bad place.

   Don't use configure and make directly as these both scripts sets needed
   environment variables.
