DJGPP,
Please don't deprecate this. It's actively used, but the test harness
doesn't run under DJGPP so testing it is difficult. I don't think
we've *ever* run the testsuite for it.
You can't cross-test, with DejaGnu running elsewhere?
Theoretically it maybe could possibly be done, but the main problem
is perhaps available manpower. I released DJGPP packages
of GCC for long time up to version 4.2.2 (native compiler
and for last versions also Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler RPM
packages).
I have also tried to build 4.3 snapshots as native compiler
for DJGPP, but run into trouble with broken DJGPP port of BASH (latest
we have is bash-2.0.5b), which prevented build to work for
libstdc++-v3. I tried to fix it, but there were still problems.
I don't know when I'll have time to fix them.
Additionally there is rather large set of patches I need to apply
for building GCC for DJGPP. I haven't had time get them in.
