Take your time.  Nobody should expect volunteers to meet deadlines.

Feel free to do that.  People who work on improving DJGPP get the highest

But I do think you exaggerate the difficulties in rebuilding Binutils.  If

different system setups of each one of us), but they are easily identified
when they happen.
