That's a very complex topic. I saw that Debian never shipped 2.8.1, they just 
provide 2.7.2 and egcs and they explicitly said that they are switching to 
egcs as default for C and C++ (in 2.0 was gcc for C and egcs for C++).
I really don't like this move but this is a fact. Linux is switching to egcs 
and dropping gcc.

On the topic of the thread: 
1) I don't like the headers solution.
2) When I installed djgpp 2.02 and gcc 2.8.1 I was forced to touch the specs. 
We currently have this problem, users installing 2.8.1 and removing 
%DJDIR%/lib/specs (as the readme says) have MINOR=1 and not 2. So the 
solution should be applied to the gcc 2.8.1 distribution too ... looks all a 
mess. I can't suggest a solution.
