OK, but now what about the files which are provided by gcc-2.8.1 in
%DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.81 ?
Should I leave them untouched, should I remove them since the ones that
come with DJGPP-2.02 are correct ?
Does have gcc a directory list order in which to search for those files ?
(i.e., first look at %DJDIR/lib and then if nothing is found at
%DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.81 ?
