Most of these are unimportant to DOS anyway. The info files can be 
rebuilt to DOS conventions from the .texi source. The only system 
specific files that are important to DOS in a non-LFN environment are 
the ones needed to build natively for DJGPP, so conflicts with coff-
tic30.c and coff-tic80.c isn't a big deal.

The ones that are of importance are the ones you list with too many 
dots:
binutils-990613/gprof/.gdbinit - file name cannot start with dot
binutils-990613/intl/intlh.inst.in - too many dots
binutils-990613/intl/po2tbl.sed.in - too many dots

Generally, these would probably something the DJGPP porter takes 
care of whenever in the distant future a new version is released.

For more feedback, I would suggest forwarding your post to djgpp-
workers@delorie.com.
