Emacs needs some patches to compile under v2.0.  That work isn't over yet 
AFAIK, nobody has yet a fully functional and bug-free Emacs compiled 
under v2.0.  (Some of the nastiest problems are in the v2.0 library, you 
won't be able to build a working Emacs at all with beta4.)  I'd advise 
you to wait for the next v2.0 beta or the final release, and try to 
compile Emacs only then.

The latest version of Emacs is 19.30, and it was already compiled in DJGPP
1.12m4.  You can get it at this URL: 

	ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/contrib/emx1930*.zip

That compiled binary has many DOS-specific improvements and bugfixes.  If
you absolutely need to recompile it yourself, get the source archives from
the above URL, it should compile under DJGPP v1.12 without any problems.
