-: Right.  I din't mean to say that specs file is in the GCC 2.7.x
-: distribution: it isn't.  You need to get it from djdev.  The last

Yes, that was it.  I used lib/specs from djdev202.zip, updated as
suggested, and the problem is now solved.  Thank you!

Ok, I realize I'm long overdue for a gcc upgrade.  Let's say I install
gcc 2.95.3.  In the README Andris warns against keeping an old gcc
installation around (unless you know what you are doing).  But given that
a gcc 2.7.2.1 installation requires only half a dozen files and doesn't
assume the directory structure of later gcc's, wouldn't it be relatively
simple to keep the 2.7.2.1 compiler in addition to the 2.95.3 setup?
Any suggestions on how to arrange this?
