Sorry, I was trying to separate my patch into parts with different
implications (e.g. no effect on the current DOS build system; some effect
on that system but not more generally; more general changes); but instead
I'll concentrate on producing a single patch that, as you say, results in a
working binary.

Noted.

Sure, OK.

I am closing this bug; since you diagnosed my other patch submission as a
more general bug in configuration, I'll look into a fix for it at that
level.
