I had no special problems building Binutils 2.9.1 on plain DOS.  If
you want, I can send the patches against stock Binutils 2.9.1 that let
me build the distribution.

I suspect that these happen because some LFN function doesn't work
correctly.  `touch' calls function 5705h of Interrupt 21h to set the
last-access time.  Does the LFN driver support this function?

As for `mv', try to reproduce the problem by hand and then post here
how to reproduce it (I presume that `mv' generally works, so this case
is somehow special).

The Gawk test suite works for me with no problems except with the part
where it tests the results of calling math functions with invalid
arguments (that part also fails on every platfrom but SunOS).  Please
look at the failed tests closer and tell which ones failed.

Any idea why did you need to comment these lines?

What version of Grep did you try to build?

I would suggest to post the details.  Where do these problems happen
during the build process?

Try with the latest version 3.78.1: it includes the test suite, and
the tests work with the DJGPP tools (you will need Perl).

It is much easier to say "make check CMP='diff -c'", like the file
djgpp/README suggests...

The Tar test suite worked flawlessly for me, so I'd suggest to take a
closer look at these failures.  Please post the failure descriptions
here, if you cannot figure them out.

Try Texinfo 4.0, it includes a test suite.

Are you talking about GDB 4.18?  If not, please try the latest
version.  I don't see libibert.sed or libiberty.sed anywhere in the
source distribution of GDB 4.18, but it *is* LFN-clean, so you should
have no problems.

This is GCC 2.7.2.1, I presume.  Please try the latest version.

This is due to Windows NT leaking selectors and DOS memory.  Simply
restart the build process (by typing "make"), and it will pick up
where the previous run left off.

Why?  Can you describe the details of this problem?

Also, I sugegst to try building the latest alpha of djlsr203.

I'm guessing that these are all consequences of the same problems that
makes `touch' fail: something is wrong in setting access time inside
the function `utime'.  I suggest to step with a debugger into `utime'
and see what exactly fails there.

Sorry, I don't understand this.  Could you please elaborate?

This is not how LFN-aware DOS functions work on Windows 9X, so I don't
think the NT driver should behave differently.  Perhaps you could
explain why do you think this would be a good idea.  What problems are
you trying to solve by this?
