I think the 'Right Thing' is not so difficult as you think.  How about
something like this.

In the host (xm) DJGPP config file put a

#define CSE_STAGE_ONE_EXTENSION ".cs1"
#define CSE_STAGE_TWO_EXTENSION ".cs2"

or something similar.
Then, in whatever gcc file it is that appends the .cse and .cse2 put a

#ifndef CSE_STAGE_ONE_EXTENSION
#define CSE_STAGE_ONE_EXTENSION ".cse"
#endif
#ifndef CSE_STAGE_TWO_EXTENSION
#define CSE_STAGE_TWO_EXTENSION ".cse2"
#endif

and then use the macros instead of just manually appending the extension.
This will leave all
configurations the same except those that specifically override the macros
in the host configuration
file.  I can put it on my list of things to do if nobody else volunteers.
