First of all, you have to get the complete source for gcc from the FSF, since
only the necessary file for Intel CPUs are included in the djgpp source of
gcc (I think). On unix you have a script called configure which will
create the necessary links to host machine and target description files, you
probably have to do the same things that the script does (and of course copy
the files since there is no symlink in DOS). Then the compiler should
build, however, since there are probably loads of sh dependencies in
the Makefiles, these may need tweaking also. Probably much easier to first
build a unix->dos cross compiler and then use that to build the DOS->something
compiler.
