This can be easily fixed by telling gcc to look in $DJDIR/bin after
looking in version specific directories ($DJDIR/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.81).

Simply add line
#define MD_EXEC_PREFIX "$DJDIR/bin/"

in  gnu/gcc-2.81/config/i386/xm-go32.h before compiling gcc and this problem 
goes away. (I copied find.exe to current directory with name as.exe but 
patched gcc.exe was working perfectly anyway)

As I told above this problem is fixed in version on my HDD.
