I would recommend you to get the gcc280s.zip archive from simtelnet.
Unzip the archive, read the file README.DJGPP about the requirements
and possible problems. Then figure aout all the DJGPP specific patches
by looking for pairs of files like "gcc.c" and "gcc.c~" where the file
with the ~ is the original file and doing a

diff -c gcc.c~ gcc.c will tell you all the diffs which are made there.

Save these diffs and then restore the original files by renaming them
to the original filename. Then apply the diffs from gcc 2.8.0 to
gcc 2.8.1 and the try to apply the saved diffs for DJGPP. Now, finally
after some hand-work you should be able to rebuild gcc 2.8.1 in a
similar
way like described in the README.DJGPP for gcc 2.8.0.

If you get some errors when applying the diffs from 2.8.0 to 2.8.1 about
missing files simply ignore them, since the DJGPP source archive for
gcc 2.8.0 does not inlcude all the files which ar part of the original
GNU archive.

These files are part _only_ of the DJGPP source archive for gcc.
