OK, we meticulously went through and installed all of the binaries and
sources . . .  Here's what we get:

c:\gnu\sources\gnu\gcc-2721> configur winnt i386
Configuring GCC for Windows NT on i386
	1 file(s) copied

This results in a makefile which, for starters, has two tabs missing . . .
in lines 424 and 705.  I edit the file by hand and insert the tabs.  Then
I run make.

c:\gnu\sources\gnu\gcc-2721> make
cl   -DIN_GCC   -Di386 -DWIN32 -D_WIN32 -D_M_IX86=300 -D_X86_=1
-DALMOST_STDC -D_MSC_VER=800      -I. -I. -I./config \
  -DGCC_INCLUDE_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/winnt3.5/2.7.2.1/include\" \
  -DGPLUSPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/g++-include\" \
  -DLOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR=\"/usr/local/include\" \
-DCROSS_INCLUDE_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/winnt3.5/2.7.2.1/sys-include\"
\
  -DTOOL_INCLUDE_DIR=\"/usr/local/winnt3.5/include\" \
  -c cccp.c
make.exe: *** [cccp.obj] Error -1

Now, if I try to use the "unix-like" commands:

configur --build=i386-*-winnt3.5

I get:

c:\gnu\sources\gnu\gcc-2721> sh ./configur --build=i386-*-winnt3.5
Using `./config/i386/i386.c' to output insns.

Links are now set up to build a native compiler for i386-*-winnt3.5

We're at our wits end with this . . . been working on this for over 2
weeks now, and I'm starting to think that we are completely on the wrong
track.  It shouldn't be this difficult to compile the sources for djgpp .
. . right? 

BTW, the reason we need to compile the sources is that we want to write a
new front end to compile java bytecode.  Therefore, we MUST be able to
compile the sources . . .
