That doesn't look right.
I am building i386-mingw32ce-gdb (or arm-mingw32ce-gdb). The targets
specified are Windows CE based, so they all have this "DOS BASED" file
system. So why test this at run time ?
The total extent of the patches I needed to get this particular issue
out of the way is this :

And in the build directory, I added
#define HAVE_DOS_BASED_FILE_SYSTEM 1
to libiberty/config.h and gdb/config.h .
I am looking for a way to get this into the build system somehow.
