I think It's not so simple. Yes I'm rather often building gcc-3.0 CVS
snapshots for DJGPP. I already have CVS sources as script that updates
them, bootstraps gcc-3.0 for Linux, runs testsuite and sends results is
running automatically at night. So it remains to look whether I have
number of failures small enough and to run some additional scripts to
build a Linux-to-DJGPP cross-compiler and after that native compiler for
DJGPP (result is creating binary archives). It could be possible to make
them running automatically, but it should require to do some additional
work.

About testing:

I'm not running GCC testsuite for DJGPP (I simply can't do that), so only
real testing is with applications and I'm afraid it not enough to add
DJGPP to secondary platforms as it's difficult to see whether we have some
regressions we have to fix
