As far as I understand, GDB did not crash: it just told you that your
program requires too much memory to support debugging it. GDB needs
to allocate lots of memory to hold all the data structures whioch
describe the variables, functions, and data types used by the
debuggee.
You could try compiling only part of the source files with -g, that
might require less memory for GDB.

I don't expect this to work, since no Windows debugger should be
expected to know about the format of DJGPP executables. About the
only possibility is to build GDB with Cygwin so that it is hosted on
Windows and targeted for DJGPP. However, I don't think such a
configuration is supported by GDB at this time.
