  The latest DejaGnu is on the FSF site at http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/

  Ha! 1.4.1 is the latest release, but as DejaGnu is now back under more
active development, most bug fixes go into the CVS tree. It's the 1.3
release that's very old... and shouldn't be used.

  That is RedHat's DejaGnu branch, which I do merges against occasionally. Most
development is on the FSF site.

  This is fixed in the current CVS sources. The easy fix is to go into
lib/target.exp, and on the line with "warning: -f(pic|PIC) ignored for target",
nuke the extra newline, so it's all on one line. I'm not sure how this slid
through release testing, but it did. It's now fixed. A patch would be:

--- target.exp  2001/04/04 01:23:15     1.3
+++ target.exp  2001/05/17 04:39:23     1.5
