DJGPP does not define a SIGBUS for some reason (maybe we can't trap it).
Assuming you leave BZ_UNIX defined (its the default), then
just put a

#ifndef __DJGPP__
#endif

around the sigbus installer.  So line ~3860 should look like

#ifndef __DJGPP__
   signal (SIGBUS,  mySIGSEGVorSIGBUScatcher);
#endif

Then you will find that you get an undefined reference to lstat, so you will
also need
to force it to use stat.  Around line 148 change it to this.

#ifdef __DJGPP__
   #define MY_LSTAT    stat
#else
   #define MY_LSTAT    lstat
#endif


Thats it.  Just do a 'gcc bzip.c -o mynewbzip.exe' and you should be all
set.
