I recall that with earlier versions of dosemu, it was necessary to add
a patch for DPMI. All I can say is that djgpp-v2 works with
Linux-1.3.12 and dosemu-0.63.1.66 (My testing is limited to the build
of gawk.)
One solution is to build a cross-compiler. Others have said that this
works well, and there was an announcemnt about a packaged version on
one of the linux groups. In my case, I need to test the build of gawk
under DOS.
