Most of us (well, me anyway) use the binaries supplied and don't need
to build go32 or gnuc itself from source. Unless you particularly need
to modify go32 (and I realise some people do, although the need to do
so should be less with 1.11 due to the better interrupt/DPMI support)
use the binaries like the rest of us. The readme files should tell you
which zip files are essential for this.
