I think I and Eli tried to achieve different goals:

	- Eli tried to get binutils-2.9.1 to build Ok build without LFN 
          support (I haven't followed related discussion carefully though).
          Patch also shows that. That is prefered way for "official" DJGPP
          port of package.

       - My script works only with LFN support. At the same time I tried
          to get it working for building both binutils-2.9.1 and recent
         snapshots as both native and cross-binutils (simply I don't like
         to repeat all operations each time, therefore only one script). So
         You should be able to use it to build cross-binutils under Linux
          or other system. No tests are done without LFN support.
