Yes, gcc doesn't just know how to be a cross-compiler.  You must
follow the instructions in INSTALL for *manual* configuration, using
the file information found in the configure.bat script.  You will need
to obtain the djlsr110.zip (library sources) module and cross-compile
those as well.

For more information about building cross-compilers,
rcharif AT math DOT utexas DOT edu has build a sparc->dos cross compiler already.
The djgpp mailing list archives on
sun.soe.clarkson.edu:pub/msdos/djgpp/djgpp will have a message from
him about it, or you can poke around on
math.utexas.edu:pub/msdos/djgpp-cross.
