I usually go directly to ftp.gnu.org, and it usually works fast enough. But then I mostly do this when North America is asleep. Also, it might be that everybody and their dog were downloading that release together with you. > It handled all of the cross stuff no problem.

Not ever an option > to configure djgpp in any type of way. GDB 4.16 was configured by a series of batch files, IIRC. I guess your best bet would be to fetch gdb416s.zip from any DJGPP site and look into the djgpp subdirectory inside there, to see how it was done. I'm not suggesting that this is how you should do it for 4.17, but it might answer all kinds of questions. I have 4.16 source tree on my machine, so I could try to help you out with some questions, if Robert is unavailable or doesn't remember what he did. I also am not sure why do you need an option to configure GDB for DJGPP. Doesn't "sh ./configure pc-i386-msdosdjgpp" work as expected? If you didn't try that, please do; I think this is how it *should* work, even if it doesn't now. > I also am unsure as to what the proper xm/xt files are.

I do that in a separate message.
