You need a crosscompiler that is a compiler that works on one platform yet
produces binary files for another platform.
Since you mentioned Cygwin (http://www.redhat.com) then it can produce SH-4
binary files.
Before trying to reinvvent the wheel I'd suggest trying out www.google.com
with questions like

SH-4  gcc Cygwin docs
to find pages with documentation. This will savew you a ton of time that you
can spend on writing games.

AFAIK DJGPP cannot crossompile to SH-4
