You mean, running DJGPP on a different machine, like an embedded
system?  That's hardly makes sense for the kind of users for whom
DJGPP appeals.

If you mean to run DJGPP programs as a debuggee under GDB/Insight
compiled with Cygwin (I'm not sure Insight compiles with Mingw--does
it?), then this is possible in principle, but Someone(tm) needs to
figure out how to run DOS programs from Cygwin ones via a pipe.
NTEmacs does it, but it took lots of iterations, and the tricks it
employs are not 100% reliable.

If GDB itself is compiled as a native Windows program targeting DJGPP
executables, then this adds one more layer of problems: how to pass
debug exceptions and signals between a Windows program and a DJGPP
one.
