The DJGPP FAQ list (available as v2/faq201b.zip from the same place you 
get DJGPP) has some information on building cross-development environment 
in section 22.7.

I suggest you get the full original Binutils and use that as a starting 
point.  The DJGPP source distributions sometimes omit files which aren't 
required to build them on MSDOS as native programs, so you might miss 
some files for your case.

The latest versions of Unzip support long filenames, at least on Unix 
platforms.

I suggest you read the above section in the FAQ and then ask specific 
questions if something there doesn't work or is unclear.
