This may be related to versions of bash etc. I used bash-2.0.5b
(from same binary archive which I uploaded some time ago for betas/v2gnu
as version from clio.rice.edu had some serious problems)

I found the reason why observer.sh failed. Setting IFS=: causes 
$texi be splitted in inapropriate place when it's DOS style absolute 
path like c:/something/...

I editted observer.sh to replace that to /dev/c/... , which fixed the 
problems.

I did such tests last time with gdb-6.2.1. Now I simply had ncurses-5.4 
installed. Building gdb-6.2.1 failed also when no curses was available at all,
as some of files which uses curses were attempted to build. I haven't tested
that with gdb-6.3. Maybe this problem is no more there.

Also it seems that one debug information section is still left out of linker 
script (gdb warning when loading executable). Adding it to djgpp-x.djl 
in gcc-3.4.3 directory and relinking program fixed that. I'll perhaps check 
that more later.
