Thank you.  I ran across this for other configurations but 
wasn't sure if it was what I should do or not.

I am very unknowledgable about the whole configure/build process, 
so these next questions are more from ignorance than anything.  

There is no 'native' compiler, header files, whatever else for 
a DJGPP target. the include files are all provided in a separate
download package when you install things.  Why would we ever 
want to fixincludes for this particular target?  The old 2.7.2 
way didn't even use the standard configure method.  Its only an
option now since bash has been ported to dos.

And, why run fixincludes when we are generating a cross-compiler?
I guess perhaps changes to gcc would make re-fixing files necessary.
OK - I'll buy that.   

I will go back to try to get specifics on
what changes to the header files are breaking things and reports
them.
