All the gcc-based crosscompiler ports use the same disttree. The included "newlib" hasn't been upgraded since ages and only supports the first version of DJGPP. What I've seen Linux users do is add dircetly the updated libraries from DJGPP2 and replace the old ones. Now that I think it if Watcom's C uses 16-bit libs it won't work. > It's the only free 32-bit DOS compiler around, and it provides a DOS > programming environment that is extremely productive and highly > conducive to rapid development and migration of *nix code. > The latest libraries also support most POSIX. I was told (by Delorie) that quake and other commercial ports were built with the crosscompiler.
