I am trying to build djgpp on my WinNT 4.0 machine (Ppro) . . . alas with no 
luck, yet.  Following the install instructions, I am running the configure.bat
file as follows:

C:\gnu\sources\gnu\cgg-2721>configur winnt i386
Configuring GCC for Windows NT on i386

So far so good . . . but making is another thing.  Now, I have 3 choices
for make utilities: nmake, gmake, make (which came with my MKS unix utilities).
According to the install instructions, I should be using Microsoft's 
Nmake.  So I do:

C:\gnu\sources\gnu\cgg-2721>nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility  Version 1.61.6038
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1996. All rights reserved.

makefile(706) : fatal error U1034: syntax error : separator missing
Stop.

It seems that my Nmake doesn't handle the end of line as it should, because
line 706 is:

echo.exe $(OBJS) ($BC_OBJS) | sed -e "s, ([a-z]), ../1,g" >stamp-objlist

If I manually terminate OBJS with a backslash, it works for this error, but
then the make stops because it thinks the line following belongs to it . . .

Please help.  I am going crazy here :).  Also, I'm using Nmake for vs. 4
of Vis C/C++ . . .
