Tried to compile egcs112s.zip and ran into some problems. The first 
problem was a bug in Bash 2.03 that corrupts the PATH variable in a 
child's environment when PATH_SEPARATOR=:. I've updated the 
packages for this fix.

Second, part of the djmake.sh script is incompatible with Bash 2.03 
since the it depends on the old Bash encoding scheme:

# The following is needed, to get not the // syntax, when
# the configure script or the makefile calls pwd
current_drive=`pwd | sed 's,//\(.\).*,\1,'`
export SYSROOT=$current_drive:/

current_drive gets set to a very bad value in Bash 2.03 and causes the 
make to quickly bomb. I set 'current_drive'  to 'c:' in my copy to work 
around the problem.
