Provide DJGPP?
"the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system..."
            ^^^^^^^^
  -- GNU Lesser GPL, section 6

Provide glibc?  I mentioned "mirror the parts of glibc you use".

If DJGPP must be distributed to satisfy the GNU licenses, then so
must (say) Borland C++, Watcom C++, or MS Visual C++, and this is
a violation of their respective EULAs.
