The errors are not in doscheck itself, but in the
way the resulting data is handled in update_web_ari
which will put together duplicates like
gdb/ChangeLog and gdb/ChangeLog-2006
and
opcodes/ChangeLog and opcodes/ChangeLog-2006
into a single CHANGELO entry.

I will send the changes in a separate email.

No, the question was:
how are the zip files for the sources of the DJGPP port of
GDB produced?

They do not include all the directories
that are in the official sources, but I was wondering
it the zip was produced manually or
if there was a special script for that, that would
remove lots of unnecessary directories.
If this script exists, it would be useful to
limit the scope of doscheck.c to these directories
included in the final source zip for DJGPP.
