It is obsolete, and has been for about five years. You may assume it
doesn't exist. I don't even know why we're storing AMD's proprietary

go32 means "DJGPP Version 1", which was superceded by V2 in 1996. V2
is called i586-pc-msdosdjgpp, but is incompatible with the modules in
utils/msdos. See http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
