Apropos Binutils, there's a problem with the stub that the build
procedure uses: that stub is part of the distribution, so it's always
out of date.  It would be better if the stub could be generated at
build time from whatever DJGPP version that is installed.

I did some tests, and it seems that running `od' (from Textutils) on
the output of "stubify -g", followed by some simple Sed script to
massage `od's output is all we need.

Does anybody see any problems with this?  How about cross-building:
can we rely on `stubify' and `od' to be available then?
