DJGPP doesn't use Glibc, it has its own separate library and headers (DJDEV*.ZIP). IIRC, Glibc only supports Linux and Hurd.

BTW, DJGPP already has working ports of Bash 2.04 / 2.05b as well as FileUtils / TextUtils / ShellUtils (which were later combined into CoreUtils). I assume you are already aware of this.

Is there specific functionality that is lacking that you need, or are you just curious to see if you can build a newer version (doubtful without patches, but ...)?
