For me packages built using djdev203 (revision 2) works in average much better 
under WinXP Pro rather than either of DJGPP v2.04 beta or current CVS. (at 
least on one box). For example only really working bash, which I have is
one from djgpp distribution (v2gnu/bsh204b.zip). For example bsh205bb.zip from
clio.rice.edu was unusable for running almost any configuration script
(reproducible jumps out of DPMI, not immediatelly though). Using bash from 
v2gnu/bsh204b.zip, I succefully built for example gcc-3.3.3, gcc-3.4.0, 
gdb-6.1.1 (all under WinXP)

It crashes rather often while compiling C++ sources, so be carefull.

For gcc-3.4.0 perhaps GDB-6.1 or newer may be needed, binutils-2.14 or 2.15
should be Ok
