It is not clear what you mean by ``compile DJGPP''.  DJGPP is not a
single program, it's a large collection of ported tools, such as GCC,
as (the assembler), ld (the linker), and Make; and of libraries and
utilities, such as the standard C library libc.a, which were written
specifically for the DJGPP DPMI-based environment.

You can take the sources of GCC and compile them with a Windows
compiler, although I'd suggest to use something other than MSVC,
probably a Windows port of GCC.  This will work, since GCC was ported
to Windows.

But compiling the DPMI-specific code in DJGPP will generally not work,
because it requires DPMI and DOS function calls which cannot be used
by Windows programs directly.
