There's a precompiled version of TeX and related tools on the usual
DJGPP sites on SimTel.NET, in the v2apps/tex directory. It includes
gsftopk and much more. If you can use that version (it's based on
Web2c 7.2, which is slightly old), then you don't need to bother about
these problems.
If you must compile the version you downloaded from CTAN, I suggest to
download the sources of ported gsftopk from v2apps/tex and compare them
to what you have. Both of the problems you bumped into are solved in
the version on SimTel, so I think you will have no problems solving
them once you see how. (The solution is not trivial, so I cannot
easily tell you here what to do.) The sources of gsftopk are in the
file gspk116s.zip in v2apps/tex.
I don't know why doesn't the version you downloaded works for you.
Perhaps there is a DJGPP-specific distribution somewhere on CTAN which
solves these problems. If so, the diffs against the official version
should have been submitted to the maintainers.
