when I built my linux-hosted djgpp-target cross-compiler, I just copied
the lib/ and include/ dir from a working djgpp-environment. I then had a
warning about va_list being defined differently in some of
gcc-i386-go32's own header files and the files I just copied. 

What I would like to see in the FAQ is just the basics: should I just
copy those files over, or isn't that the correct way? I cannot remember
exactly what error message I got, but I *know* it was about some
variable being defined in another type which was really the same, so I
#ifdef'ed it out.

Good luck with the FAQ,
Jurriaan
