Yes, it would.  You just need ports of a few Unix file-related utilities 
(like rm and mv), and then you can build GCC on MSDOS.

`configure' scripts don't work on MSDOS, since they assume too much about 
the (Unix) system they run on.  Packages ported to MSDOS usually come 
with DOS batch files that do roughly the same.
