Well, it depends on exactly what parts of djgpp you want to compile.  If
you're trying to rebuild libc, then all you should need to do is change
to the src directory and type "make", then go to the src/libc directory
and type "../rmake".  To rebuild all of DJGPP, change to the src
directory and type "makeall"... and watch it go... and go... and go... 
;)

You will of course need to get _all_ the source distributions that you
wish to rebuild.  Rebuilding also requires 'v2/djlsr201.zip'.  I also
heard that the build process is designed specifically for DJ Delorie's
customized DOS box, and thus it may not be guaranteed to work on all
systems.

There should be no real reason why you should need to rebuild any part
of DJGPP, though.  If you need to fix bugs in a particular program, then
you can rebuild just that program.  Similarly, library code fixes can be
applied by patching the source file in djlsr, and then using 'ar' to
replace just that one object file.
