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.
