It was in my email at the bottom.

  The question is: 
how do you prepare a tarball that contains only the directories required 
by DJGPP?

  The list of problems is available on the web page: 
http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/ari/ari.doschk.bug

Is for instance the gdb/features/rs6000 directory useful for DJGPP?

I would really like to have an empty list there
and put it to the regression list if this changes,
so that we take care of this as we incompatibilities arise.
