I applied the patch to freshly unpacked sources and it worked except
that when I type `make timetest' the test program builds but does not
run for some reason. I simply type the command manually to produce the
 required header file as you can see from this output:
...(snip)
D:\djgpp\gnu\bc-1.06>make timetest
(cd lib; d:/djgpp204/bin/make.exe specialnumber)
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `d:/djgpp/gnu/bc-1.06/lib'

The following may take up to 10 minutes.
testmul > muldigits.h

(snip)...
I will save the patch for the next time I install bc with readline and
flex. 
Thanks again.
