The sources of GNU docs are written in Texinfo, not in TeX.  The Texinfo 
sources can only be found in the *s.zip distributions.  Note that you 
will need to install TeX or its workalike to produce printed docs from 
the Texinfo sources.

There is more about this, including pointers to sites where you can
download PostScript versions of the GNU docs, in the DJGPP FAQ list
(v2/faq200b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP), sections 5.3 and 5.4.
