Wrong direction.  Do NOT use configure.bat for anything but building 
DJGPP as a native DOS/Windows compiler.  For any other target, you will 
need:

	(a) The original GNU source distribution of GCC (the one which is 
available from DJGPP archives lacks many files which are needed to build 
a cross-compiler);

	(b) Use the original configure script, not configure.bat batch 
file (you will have to download and install Bash and the auxiliary 
programs called by the configure script, in order to run it).  Then run 
the configure script as the file INSTALL tells you.

Read section 22.7 of the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq210b.zip from the same
place you get DJGPP) for some additional details.

No.  If you want replies by direct email, make the effort and remove the 
anti-spam add-ons from your address yourself.
