I've been rebuilding my DJGPP installation using the 981027 djdev202 beta
over the last day or two using gcc-2.81. So far I have successfully built:

sh-util1.12
txtutil1.22
filutil3.16
texinfo3.9 (albeit that a few short filenames needed lengthening)
make-3.77 (after adding #define HAVE_SYS_SIGLIST to config.h)
allegro v3.0
diffutils.271

For the latter I had to mv diff.tex diff.texi and enable SHELL=/bin/sh
in the makefile in order to make diff.inf. Even then there was a small
error:

make dos-release
(echo '@set VERSION 2.7.1' && \
set `sed -n '/^.*\%%Id: diff.texi,v \([^ ]*\) \([^ ]*\).*/{ s//\1 \2/ s|/|-|g \
p q }' diff.texi` && \
echo "@set EDITION %%1" && \
echo "@set UPDATED %%2") >version.texi
G:/DJGPP/BIN/sed.exe: Unknown option to 's'
makeinfo --no-split ./diff.texi --output=diff.inf
Making info file `diff.inf' from `./diff.texi'.

Which resulted in diff.inf containing:

This is Edition %%1, dated %%2, for `diffutils' 2.7.1 and `patch' 2.1.


Anyway, continuing:

sed-1.18

[Hmmm... <Reads FAQ> :)]

sed-3.02
diffutils.271 again

No I still had the same problems. The sed error message was a little
different this time though:

make dos-release
(echo '@set VERSION 2.7.1' && \
set `sed -n '/^.*\%%Id: diff.texi,v \([^ ]*\) \([^ ]*\).*/{ s//\1 \2/ s|/|-|g \
p q }' diff.texi` && \
echo "@set EDITION %%1" && \
echo "@set UPDATED %%2") >version.texi
C:/DJGPP/BIN/sed.exe: -e expression #1, char 58: Unknown option to 's'
makeinfo --no-split ./diff.texi --output=diff.inf
Making info file `diff.inf' from `./diff.texi'.

I now also notice that emacs can see diff.inf but info itself cannot.

texinfo3.12 (no LFN inconvenience this time)

Okay, so now info can see it too.

patch-2.5
man v1.2
less-321
gawk-3.0-2 (Even the test and install targets worked!)

Did "ln -s gawk.exe awk.exe" by hand afterwards.

grep-2.0...

Had to mv djgpp/include/getpages.h djgpp/include/getpagesize.h.
Furthermore, this build would not complete with a GPF that
extinguished the DOS box.
***I cannot build grep-2.0 with DJGPP 2.02***
