Yep I'm sure.

Yes, gcc-2.7.2.1 is distributed with DJGPP2.01 but I was compiling GCC
itself. I wrote a port for GCC-2.7.0 to a specific arch, so I have to
compile a cross-compiler.

That doesn't matter, IMO, becasue DJGPP itself works with go32 too.
go32-v2 says:
go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2
binaries as well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the
old go32 in your PATH but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in
the PATH after this one.Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get
verbose output.
DPMI memory available: 10275 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 2669 Kb


But: I did a stubedit c:\djgpp\bin\ld.exe minstack=1024K to enlarge
stackspace in ld.exe I heard that helps. But now instead of a
ld.exe: virtual memory exhausted, I get a 
c:/djgpp/lib/libc.a: could not read symbols: Memory exhausted
Still not enough memory... Anyne?

Below an output of my compile session. All .o files are in place,
so make only did the final  link.
