Not all DJGPP related changes are in official gcc sources (gcc-2.95.2 and
also in current CVS version). So download source archive gcc2952s.zip from
DJGPP distribution site (or get gcc295s2.zip, gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz and 
libg++-2.8.1.3.tar.gz). This should work also for building cross-compiler
for target i[3456]86-pc-msdosdjgpp, but I have only tested building
cross-compiler under Linux (script included in source archive)

If all needed packages are installed and are working Ok and You have LFN
support (required), then gcc-2.95.2 should build without problems 

Andris

PS. About changes not in official sources. I think that many changes
    cannot go in official sources (especially ones to make source archive
    more DOS friendly, however You need LFN support anyway)
