Your problems might be causes by the long filenames issue on Windows 95. 
Did you try this on Windows 95?  If so, did you try to set LFN=n from the
DOS prompt?  (The problem with finding "makefile" might also be caused by 
the long filename support.)  The current DJGPP port of GNU Make is 
incompatible with long filenames.

If the above doesn't help, then here are some more questions:

What program did you use to unzip and untar the source distribution of
Binutils?  Where did you get the Binutils source distribution? 

It might also help if you invoke Make with -d switch and submit everything
it prints (yes, I know, it's *very* voluminous, so use `redir').
