I asked about this a month or so ago. It's apparently necessary with
DJGPP in order to disambiguate header files which aren't unique in the
first 8.3 characters. libstdc++v3 has a few of these.
It is possible we could get those renamed (they're all internal
headers) and dump -remap, but I was assured at the time that -remap
worked, so I didn't worry about it. If we have to spend any length of
time trying to fix it, I'd prefer we got the headers renamed.
