Yes, it needs backend features and bug fixes that aren't in the
released version (and possibly refused by the GCC maintainer).  What
is the problem, exactly?

I was going to try to find time to provide G77 native DJGPP support
(as opposed to cross-building, which should work).  I'm glad someone's
done it already but it would be nice if the changes were sent back to
the maintainer for distribution, especially as the potentially
unix-dependent stuff in the configuration/makefiles is typically
release-dependent (mea culpa, partly).
