Sorry if I get this wrong. Send me a personal email so I get it right
next time.

The GCC compiler used withing the DJGPP framework can vary. In general
the last stable and most widely used version is GCC 2.9.5.3, but the
lastes official GCC version is 3.1 which has only recently been
released for the DJGPP framework. The GCC 3.X series has not been
given the same workout as the 2.9.5.3 release and as such the new
features and undocumented features are still being worked out, but it
is the way of the future.

The DJGPP packages are 32 bit DPMI (Dos Protected Mode Interface)
programs and as such can run on DOS, Win 9x, NT 4.0,  W2K and XP and
DOSEMU under Linux. There are some cavets with these, especially NT
4.0.

MinGW and Cygwin are GCC ports that work only on a Win 32 environment
and only produce WIn 32 executables.
