Why do you have to make gcc?  I just use (on linux) my base gcc (I have
a problem with {var,std}arg.h with gcc 2.5.8...

I have a script I run which just does (this is from memory)

#! /bin/bash

djgpp=/dos/marty/gnu

export LIBRARY_PATH=$djgpp/lib
include=$djgpp/include
export LDEMULATION=i386go32
#export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/u/marty/binutils/bin/go32
#exec gcc -nostdinc -idirafter /dos/gnu/include   $* 
exec gcc -idirafter $include -nostdinc ${1+"$@"}


After some understanding (and working with this) I think you just need
binary tools with support i386go32...It seems you can even
use the native assembler for this...

For the last few days I've been using i386coff
(since the new binutils are distributed that
way and I'm not making them) and djgcc programs
seem (?? they bomb on exit) to run...

At least in dosemu on linux...
