Well, I guess "normal" wasn't the correct term.  I'm using Danny's 
gcc-2.95.3 -src package from mingw.org (seemed appropriate since I was 
building a mingw-target compiler).

I'm unsure how large the differences are between your version and 
Danny's (of 2.95.3).  I guess I'll find out...

As in, "a PITA to maintain".  Hopefully, gcc2 will be a "release and

<Argh!> Sounds very frustrating.  Thanks for all your hard work -- and 
take care of your hands.
