In case anyone here hasn't noticed:

* Eli Z. is working on DJGPP support for the upcoming GDB 7.0
* he can successfully compile it with DJGPP 2.03p2 and GCC 3.4.4 on Win XP
* (quoting Eli): "I don't build from CVS, I download the latest snapshot from
sourceware.org [here???] and build that."
* both DJGPP versions of Bash (/current/'s 2.04 and /beta/'s 2.05b) have a bug in shell functions that causes ./configure (e.g. from AutoConf 2.64) to crash, needs either a workaround (put parentheses around the "return $ac_retval" parts) or Andris' hacked 2.05br3

Note that I don't expect most people here to care much besides marcov, and even that's assuming he doesn't already know. :-)
