Integrated debugging is not supported in the DJGPP port of Emacs (it 
requires true asynchronous subprocesses, which aren't part of the DJGPP 
port).  Sorry.

If you run Emacs from Windows, I suggest debugging in a separate DOS 
box.  That's what I usually do.

(I suggest to read the "MS-DOS" chapter of the Emacs on-line manual, it 
lists the few features which don't work on MS-DOS, and also describes 
several DOS- and DJGPP-specific facilities inside Emacs.)
