Building gcc-2.95.2 for DJGPP from sources requires LFN support. So
it cannot be done on plain DOS or WinNT unless support of LFN is
added (there is driver for WinNT which adds LFN support for DJGPP
applications). But I'm afraid there may be more problems under WinNT
not only LFN support.
So either use Win9X (both Win95 and Win98 are Ok, I don't know
about WinME) or try cross-building DJGPP hosted compiler on Unix
build.bat should work without problems (I hope) in DOS session
under Win9X if all needed packages are installed (and installation
in screwed up somehow).
