Do not post huge files. Instead post a link where people can download
the file if required.

Have you installed the readline package? 

Next time you build re-direct the output to a file using redir.exe and
then you can see what the build is trying to do.

Here is the part out of my batch file that I use to build GDB 5.3 for
the 2.04 alpha releases:-
	CD %DJGPP_ROOT%\GNU\GDB-5.3
	if not exist makefile sh ./gdb/config/djgpp/djconfig.sh
	make clean
	rm ...\*.exe
	rm ...\*.o
	rm ...\*.lo
	rm ...\*.a
	make
	make info
	make -k install prefix='${DJDIR}' INSTALL='ginstall -c'
	make -k install-info prefix='${DJDIR}' INSTALL='ginstall -c'
	cp gdb\libgdb.a %DJGPP_ROOT%\lib
	CD %DJGPP_ROOT%\GNU\GDB-5.3\bfdsym~1
	make clean
	make
	cp *.exe %DJGPP_ROOT%\bin


Please note that this is probably more complex than it neads to be,
but over the last 2 years with changes to allot of the packages and
problems I keep making the way I build more resiliant to issues.
