It's pretty simple.  Apply the patches in the DJGPP DIFFS directory to
the standard GNU releases, then configure each sub-system with 

	configure --target=i386-go32

Make and install each tool (they'll be put in /usr/local unless you
specify --prefix=... to configure).  Then copy the DJGPP libraries and
include files to /usr/local/i386-go32/lib and
/usr/local/i386-go32/include respectively.

You can now invoke the compiler and tools as i386-go32-gcc,
i386-go32-ld, etc.
