I think a "hello world" program which is over 50K will generate a lot more FAQs than looking for support for long-long and long-double. At some point even people who read the FAQ will ask "why - it's not that way on other compilers". If you count mailing/news hits on the two subjects over the last few years ... don't make a perceived problem worse. As a matter of fact - I think the linking in DJGPP.ENV environment code by a typical user app should probably be OFF by default (I inserted the null version into the libc which I use for everything except rebuilding distribution apps).
