There is such problem but seems that this only affects debug info.
I haven't tried to debug cc1plus.exe so cannot tell more. Anyway
the executables You're getting should work. Or You can tell gcc 
to ignore debug info
	./djmake.sh  CFLAGS=-O2

There is no problems to build pgcc-1.1.1 for DJGPP (only some minor 
modifications to the script I used to patch original sources of egcs-1.1.1). I tried 
and it worked. However I was not satisfied with results:
	libstdc++.a built with options '-mpentium -O6' didn't work (segfaults in tests
                for libio and libstdc++)
  	BYTE benchmarks compiled with same options also didn't work

Therefore I'm working with egcs-1.1.1 (not pgcc)
