My preference is ftp.digital.com, where even during mid-afternoon
here in california I can still get 200K-900K/sec throughput.  The one
I got them from this time was only about 4K thoughput for a total 
of 16 MB.

Binutils will probably build on dos just fine.  I just don't have a 
non-lfn unzip program and my NT environment has never been very
solid.  I figure I'll work out any problems on the unix
end first and then worry about getting it to build native last.
GDB doesn't build anywhere.

No.  There is no configuration option in either configure.host or 
configure.tgt that resembles any of the djgpp configurations I know
of (go32-msdos, go32-coff, pc-msdosdjgpp).

Good.  I guessed correctly :)  Just wansn't sure if the sysv file was 
right or not.

It doesn't appear that any of them are installed...
