This is not entirely true. I managed to compile PGCC 1.1.2 on DJGPP, twice.
What I did was patched EGCS 1.1.1 to 1.1.2, then to PGCC 1.1.2. Built it the
first w/ EGCS 1.1.2, then built it again w/ PGCC 1.1.2, no problems noted. My
guess is that the machine defs are broken in PGCC 1.1.2, but in DJGPP, the
DJGPP people wrote their own defs.

So what we need to do is check the machine defs, and fix them.

Also, has anybody tried building w/o the Haifa scheduler? (Yes, I did use the
Haifa scheduler, or at least the compile script says it has configured for
haifa, and -DHAIFA is used during the build)
