It's me again. I've switched to gcc 2.7.2.

In creating libgcc.a, a number of small files (e.g., _muldi3.c) get 
created in the lgcctmp directory. They consist of a single #define 
statement and an #include statement for libgcc2.c. I get an error/warning 
when compiling these files:

unknown machine mode 'word_type' in file included from lgcctmp/_muldi3.c

This points to line 82 of libgcc2.c which is a typedef statement. I'm 
afraid I'm not familiar enough with C at this time to completely 
understand what is being done in that line. The question is - how fatal 
is this warning/error to building libgcc.a? It does seem to get built but 
is about 1/3 the size of that provided by the djgpp distribution 
(although I did do my compilations without the -g option). I'm wondering 
if an error at this point caused me difficulties when attempting to 
compile stuff with the 2.7.1 compiler - undefined references to things 
like __builtin_delete?
