Thank you very much. Your patches work ok in my machine.


----- DJGPP build

Besides the recommended build procedure, I've also naively attempted a 
./configure & make build. Suprisingly, it works ok on one machine, but 
./configure aborts on a similar one (sorry, the abort message scrolled 
quickly out of the window). I still have to grab and diagnose it.

The successful build passes all but 7 tests. The diffs are at:

  http://lml.ls.fi.upm.es/~mcollado/gawk/djgpp/fail.log

The interesting point is that the successful build includes support for 
dynamic extensions. Not very useful just now, as I'm not yet been able 
to build any loadable dynamic library with DJGPP.

You possibly know, I'm a member of the xgawk team. We really need 
support for dynamic extensions. There is some advice in 
README_d/README.pcdynamic, and in the DJGPP documentation of dlopen() 
and related stuff. Do you have pointers to additional documentation, or 
(better) working sample code?

Thanks in advance.
