There is always the option of cross-compile to djgpp from windows:
i.e. mingw/mingw-w64 to djgpp cross-compilation, both for building
djgpp itself and also dos-targeting programs.  The djgpp source
should be pretty much ready for such a scenario (of course we can
have a closer look.)

And IMHO, major focus of djgpp development must be functioning
properly on real DOS operating systems instead of proper function
under ntvdm or emulators / virtual machines.
