You will need 40-50M of free space to compile GCC, if you
economize a bit (clear out the unused config files; build just
the C compiler in stages 1 and 2 and only compile cc1plus in
stage 3 after removing the stage1 directory, etc).

I wouldn't recommend trying to cross-compile on a non-DOS box.
It's easier to get it right if you build the normal compiler.
