I didn't take any offense, but the HOWTO doesn't say anything that isn't in the latest release of the FAQ. IMHO, the HOWTO is a bit too lengthy for the average patience of many newbies who are eager to compile their First C++ Program Ever. Also, the HOWTO is somewhat outdated. When it was originally written, the FAQ was long in a need of an update so the HOWTO did fill an important niche then. But since then, GCC got several new releases, the error messages changed a bit, djgpp.env includes the RHIDE-related variables right out of the box, the FAQ has changed its wording (the section where this problem is discussed changed), and there's a new version of RHIDE that doesn't have the bug in the first place. The problems with trailing whitespace in djgpp.env are also gone. So I'd say nowadays the FAQ is a better place to look for the solution to this problem, unless someone updates the HOWTO to make it more accurate.
