I can confirm that. Had problems with it several times. For example: there are no recent docs. The available ones are obsoleted by a more than a decade.

Also, no clear 'downstream' patches to GNU tools. You must decrypt what did those who made it do. Example: reading spec files from Andris's SRPMs.

So, it's more to lack of the support and maintainance stuff on the DJGPP side. But, I can understand that, it's not like they have a lot of contributors. So, no blame to none, it is like it is...
