Notice that the zip archives are in DOS CR/LF format.  Use `unzip -a' to
convert those files into the format that bash expects.  Then `chmod +x' the
configure scripts, and anything else bash bitches about.  You may also want
to make all files writeable as well.

You still won't have much luck as there are key files missing in the
toplevel directory.  You'll have to copy those files from a binutils-2.9.1
and gcc-2.95.2 archive, just pay attention to the files that the individual
configure's complain about.  You'll also have to edit config.sub (once you
copy it) and add the mipsel*r5900 and dvp entries so that your --target
string will be properly recognized.

Confused yet?  Good.  I'm going through this now to see what's all missing.
But hey - at least now you know how to generate the ubiquitous "mpg"
assembly instruction, eh?

Have fun,
