Yup,

I checked the mail archives, and under certain versions of Novell Netware (or
all?), the stat() function doesn't work. I can't compile anything : make and
gcc don't work 8-(

gcc complains about djgpp.lnk not being found (during linking, so ld is
actually at fault). If I copy djgpp.lnk to the current directory it finds it,
but then can't find libraries (libgcc, etc).

Is there a workaround or bugfix available? I really need to get djgpp working
on the network...

Adios
