The last patch applied to symlink-tree (handle DOS stuff) was by DJ:

<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-12/msg00491.html>

and it was applied only to the gcc tree, not to the src one, so gcc
has now what I believe the most up to date copy of this script, after
having looked at CVS, www and mailing list archives of gdb, binutils
and autoconf plus google. src MAINTAINERS file states that
symlink-tree comes from autoconf, however it does not seem to have
ever existed there.

cvs archeology says:

revision 1.1
date: 1997/08/21 22:57:39;  author: jason;  state: Exp;
branches:  1.1.1;
Initial revision

I proposed the GCC project adoption of symlink-tree:

<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-12/msg00247.html>

DJ asked me to post to a wider audience, so here is a patch to src.

Thank for any help,
