I just did it for the m68k using gcc-2.7.2.1.  I used djgpp in Win95.
The biggest problem was setting the environment up to emulate unix.
I recomment using bash located in the djgpp archive and copy bash.exe
to /bin/sh.exe so that the scripts supplied by GNU work out of the box.
Also, get the fileutils and put them in your path, prehaps with 
dj's gcc.  But, remove ln.exe since it only works for linking .exe's
which will cause havok when the configure scripts try to link
include files.  There are some unix things msdos wont like, so I 
just caught them as I went along.

Hope this helps.
