I know, that is why I find this weird. But that is what I did. Compile
the test, same batch file, then install the new binutils, compile again.

I'm using PGCC snapshot 970725, since the EGCS based one has no yet been
ported to DJGPP. Maybe it's a problem in my installation? Are you
supposed to erase the DJGPP directory and re-install everything for the
new binutils? (then again, after re-installing the old binutils (2.7)
the results were back to the fast ones again...)
