Compiling the PC binaries as in compiling the source to GPC for the DOS
port.

For me, the latest executable binaries are 2.01b, the latest sources are
gpc-970714. Meaning that I can't compile the sources under DOS. I have GPC
in the same directory as DJGPP. I'm beyond the patch and diff stuff, I
figured that out, the problem I'm having is that some filenames get mangled.
Does DJGPP's DJTAR support Win '95 LFN? I tried WinZip, which is supposed to
be able to restore long filenames, but there was one particular file (for
example) gcc-2.7.2.1, something like that, which didn't extract to that file
name. I've even resorted to manually renaming the files, but that didn't
work either. Unfortunately I may have to resort to installing Linux in order
to compile the sources. I promise you this is a legit problem I'm having.

Ok, I'll try it out as a last resort because I'll have to download Linux
and the DJGPP binaries. I just want to make sure I've exhausted my PC
options first.
See ya!
