Some of them have numeric tails. It doesn't matter, since DJGPP is
configured to support LFNs on my system. Moreover, even if this did
effectively "hide" them from info, it should respond more gracefully
to missing files than SIGSEGV.

Surely not the recent ones? This system's setup is ~2 years old at
most.

Where's the version number? I can get the version of any of the tools
with "tool --version", but there's no corresponding method for djgpp
itself, and I don't seem to have kept the djdevfoo.zip file either.
