The Cygnus folks have included the go32 target in their patch for gcc that
helps gcc better support embedded systems targets.  

	ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/embedded/crossgcc-2.6.3.patch.gz

I happily use a gcc-2.6.3 on my BSD/OS box that was built for 

	--target=i386-go32
	
to compile code that ends up running on DOS.  The only "trick" was to acquire
the lib and include files from the djgpp distribution, and put them under
/usr/gnu/i386-go32 (I use /usr/gnu as my --prefix) so that they would be what
gets used in the compiles and links.
