Thank you for the answer.
Next curious question:

Does this mean that the official distribution of GNU GCC will compile
into DJGPP if configured correctly? (I have hitherto thought that it
would not. My reason for beleiving so has been the fact that DJGPP isn't
distributed together with the rest of the GNU stuff.) 
If so, how to make these settings ? Someone talked about a program named
'configure', is that it ?
