 Building gawk
 -------------
 
+Building on DOS or Windows environments can be troublesome, in part due
+to shell limitations, the long filename issue, and various Win32 pipe
+considerations.  The situation is somewhat better on OS/2.  The general
+recommendation is to use tools (especially make) which are compatible
+or built with the compiler to be used on gawk.
+
+Building versions which do not understand long filenames on systems
+that offer long names is a special case.  The maintainers unpack the
+distribution and process using utilities (unzip, make, cmp) which do not
+use long filenames.  (For example, the djgpp tools will work if LFN=n is
+set in the environment.)
