Hmm, problem is, I don't build djasm in the djgpp source tree, nor
anywhere near it, which is why I had "coff.h" (said file in local
directory).  From now on, I'll try to remember to hack out that diff
line to save you the trouble.

Ouch, I noticed one endian depencency that I put in my self, and hacked
it back before sending you the diff.

I could help with the endian hunt if you like.  Even though I don't have
access to an IRIX box, I do have access to both i860 and pa-risc 1.1
boxen (both running big-endian and they both enforce alignment).  I'm
quite willing to do this while I have access to these boxen for
testing.  In fact, I'll get started shortly (tonight).
