I was using i386-go32 at the beginning -- I found i386-coff works
fine...

I'm running this script now (I have a distribution in /dos/gnu/dj)

#! /bin/bash
# $Id$

#base=/dos/gnu/950520
#base=/dos/gnu/950524
base=/dos/gnu/dj

export LIBRARY_PATH=$base/lib

include=$base/include
#export LDEMULATION=i386go32
export LDEMULATION=i386coff
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/u/leisner/bin/coff-
export COMPILER_PATH=/usr/i486-linux/bin/
#exec gcc -nostdinc -idirafter /dos/gnu/include   $* 
exec gcc -b i486-linuxaout -idirafter $include -nostdinc ${1+"$@"}

I had to build a coff as in bintutils (2.5.2) and called it
coff-as and put in on my path...

I also had the do a little changing to djgpp.lnk in V2alpha 
(changed it from i386-go32 to i386-coff)

And be sure to "unixify" all the files...(if you use unzip, use 
the -a option which will "guess" what has to be converted...)
