Assuming that you are using DJGPP to compile Mesa, all you need to do is
get the Fileutils (v2gnu/fil313b.zip), Textutils (v2gnu/txt119b.zip),
and possibly Shellutils (v2gnu/shl112b.zip) from SimTel.  These contain
ports of nearly every common Unixy program, which should make Unix-based
makefiles very happy.  :)

I don't see why you want to rebuild gcc though... it should be fine as
is.  Or does that 'gcc' mean to make Mesa using gcc as the compiler?  If
so, it's a highly nonstandard target name!
