Right - sorry I wasn't clear.  lang/cxx/_g_confi.h under DJDIR.

I'm not sure if the headers came with the actual libraries of with
the compiler.  I found them installed in /usr after I had installed 
the gcc.  But if we are going to accept the header files that gcc 
configure wants us to use then we should fix them.  The biggest problem
is that gcc uses its own stddef.h which is totally incompatible
with dj's stdio.h.  Currently, I must manually erase the include directory
after installing and then reinstall the original dj headers and then 
fix them if necessary.
