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.

The following patch helps in the case when a sockets library is installed;
in my case, ls080b.zip from the DJGPP site:

 /* This yields the rest of the current time slice to the task manager.


The reasoning is that having select doesn't imply having the sys/select.h
functionality that the following code emulates.

Does that look OK to install?
