We'll I'm using cross-compiler (i586-pc-linux-gnu to i586-pc-
msdosdjgpp) but I realy never tried to build it using djcrx20X.zip.

I simply 
	compiled stubify and put it on path

	built binutils (I have posted scripts I used some time ago)

	build gcc as cross-compiler (related script were included in
	gcc2952s.zip)


Only browsing sources shows that many files (like cross/makefile) 
have not been changed for a very long time and it still mentions
gcc-2.7.2 which is terribly outdated. As result I didn't want to mess 
with djcrxNNN.zip too much and I choosed my own way...

About lib/specs:
	If gcc finds his own copy and we don't need any aditional hacks 
	in specs then I suggest not to have file /lib/specs. I cannot say
       how it will work with old gcc versions (like gcc-2.7.2 or gcc-2.8.1)
 	though.
