Thanks a lot for your kind answers, and also special thanks to D.J. 
Delorie for having created and maintained the package for so many years. 
I still remember those days, when DJGPP was the best ways to get around 
the 64 k barrier, because 16-bit compilers on WfW 3.11 were state of the 
art.

I don't need a full posix environment, just gcc+bison+flex inside a 
standard console window (and gawk, which I didn't mention, because I 
don't expect this to be a problem). A virtualized environment would be 
only the last resort, so I will try MinGW+MSYS first.

Regards
   Dirk
