It works for DJGPP. But it causes problems when somebody wants to transfer
sources to Linux.... (I tried to build egcs-1.1.2 as Linux to DJGPP
cross-compiler from sources patched under MS-DOS and had to generate
patched sources once more).
There are more problems as for example configure generates MS-DOS style text
files when run with DJGPP port of bash (+ other needed tools of course). Some
scripts even becomes broken as result.
