To allow rebuilding on non-LFN systems, LFN were shortened in the
archives. But this was not done perfectly (humans were involved). Some
renaming may be required to be done by hand. Welcome to the world of LFN
problems. BTW I'm also a W95 user. You may want to recompile the
original gnu gcc distribution. But be warned this is not trivial and by
default does not work on W95 unless you make some changes. If I have
time, I'll make my changes public. But I've some difficult problem with
it which prevents me from doing that as yet.
