Hi,

I'm trying to build the (gnu released) gcc-2.8.1 compiler package using
djgpp 2.8.0. using the standard method.

Since config.in is a file that is generated I tried to re-MAKE that
(first deleted the time stamps cst*).

config.in is rebuild from configure.in by autoheader.

Autoheader writes its output to a temporary file of the form autoh?????
At last it is 'mv'-ed to config.in. And THAT FAILS with NEXIST.
Typing the exact same mv command at the command line DOES succeed.

I tracked down the reason up to the DOS call level and it seems that in
_rename that call fails with error code _DOS_EACCESS.
At that time no config.in exists and autoh????? does exist. I've not a
clue why this happens. The only reason I can think of is that the
autoh????? file is still open by some process, and since the only
process still running is bash, could this be a bug in bash?

I've tried everything. Can anyone help?
