I hope the fix does NOT require that Automake be run before Binutils
could be built with DJGPP tools.  I hope the solution is to add some
magic to Makefile.in generated by Automake so that the rules would
work with both y.tab.c and y_tab.c.

If those assumptions aren't true, let's try to find another solution.
Users are already unhappy with having to install Bash and all the
auxiliary tools to build packages from sources.  Automake adds Perl to
this mess, which is IMHO a bit too far.

I think this should be easy to test on Linux, by configuring Binutils
with and without PE.  Can someone please do that?
