It's the best port of GCC that I'v found!

You can find all the files at FTP://oak.oakland.edu/SimTel/msdos/djgpp/
there are also readme files there so you know exactly what you need.

Most of it will however any DOS or Intel specific funtions will not.

No GCC doesn't support the __far keword scince it uses 32-bit flat
Protected mode. As you probably already know __far is required to call
the Windows API.
