I don't know about djgpp. Yes, DJGPP is self-hosting. But I don't see how is that relevant here, since the compiler is GCC, and GCC supports `const' since time immemoriam. I also find it hard to believe that MSC doesn't support `const' these days; and on top of that, as others said, we removed all MSC ifdefs. So I think the change is safe.
