It's in the shell-utils package,
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/shl112b.zip

What happens if you type the command, exactly as it appears above, by
hand? Does the file lib\mingw32\liballeg.a actually exist?

ISTR that the issue of slashes being the wrong way around in MinGW32
compilation has come up before; does anybody remember how this was
solved? If this problem is recurring, is there any way we can change the
makefile to sort this out once and for all?

Bye for now,
