I tried a build of gcc 3.0 under cygwin on WinME with the following from the
bash history::

 503  cp c:/download/gcc-3.0.tar.gz .
 504  tar -xzvf gcc-3.0.tar.gz
 505  mkdir objdir
 506  cd objdir/
 507  ../gcc-3.0/configure --enable-languages=c++,f77
 508  make bootstrap
 509  make install

except for going to root for the install on Linux, this is the identical
sequency I used on my Mandrake 7.1 box, and my RedHat 6.0 box at work. No
problem on any of them. I have no interest in Java or ObjeciveC, so don't
build them; apparently no one is interested in Chill anymore.
I haven't tested g++, but gcc built a Motif and a Gtk project I had handy,
and g77 built some ancient Fortran geodetic conversion code that was also
handy.

I didn't time them, but if the build on the 1 ghz ME box seemed almost as
slow as the 200 mhz Linux box. So, for the OP, if you want 3.0 for the
addtional C++ or C99 goodies, and aren't interested in the DOS specific
parts of djgpp, cygwin may be the way to go.
