Yes but the source code of the compiler is not put into one single large
file but are broken down into smaller piceses.

I have tried the cc1.exe from djgpp 2.0 beta 3 but it gave the same result
as the cc1.exe from the 2.0 distribution. With default stack size cc1.exe
simply stops and locks up the computer, but works with stack size 512kB.
So in this respect there is no difference between 2.6.3 and 2.7.2.
