True. I haven't remove files in gcc/config to enable building cross-
compilers for target i[3456]86-pc-msdosdjgpp from different platform.
I included also a script I used to do that on i[3456]86-*-linux-gnu.
But I didn't think about DJGPP hosted cross-compiler

I think there are not very much poeple that have tried to build DJGPP
hosted cross-compiler. You can try to find some information at
sourceware.cygnus.com (eg. cross-gcc mailing list).
But be prepared for some hacking (I'm almost sure it will be needed)
