I have built a DJGPP Cross compiler MS-DOS->Intel 960, but the linker
was DAO (Dead On Arival). You will need to get the full GCC source
tree. 

You will need to install bash to get the Un*x shell's to work. Besides
the linker the only other major problem was that I could not find any
C++ library for use with the cross compiler. You will find NEWLIB on
CYGNUS.COM which is a C library suitable from a cross compiler.

Let me know how you go.

Andrew
