So download source archive gcc2952s.zip from DJGPP distribution site (or get gcc295s2.zip, gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz and libg++-2.8.1.3.tar.gz). This should work also for building cross-compiler for target i[3456]86-pc-msdosdjgpp, but I have only tested building cross-compiler under Linux (script included in source archive) If all needed packages are installed and are working Ok and You have LFN support (required), then gcc-2.95.2 should build without problems Andris PS. About changes not in official sources. I think that many changes cannot go in official sources (especially ones to make source archive more DOS friendly, however You need LFN support anyway)
