If you want to run this on DOS, it might be impossible.  Last time I 
checked, Borland's IDE was a 16-bit DPMI program.  DJGPP is a 32-bit DPMI 
program, and the DPMI spec prohibits mixing them in a single session.  In 
other words, you cannot run GCC under Borland's IDE (if my information 
about the IDE being a DPMI program is correct).

I don't think this is possible.  The format of the debug info should be 
clearly documented for the conversion to be possible, and then somebody 
whould sit down and make the converter.
