g77-0.5.23 for gcc-2.8.1 is released by FSF about week ago. It no more
requires to patch gcc driver (gcc.exe in DJGPP). It should be enough to 
do following steps (however I tested it only with one alpha version in begin of 
May). You need system that supports long filenames under DJGPP
(Win95 is Ok, NT is not):
   1) unpack sources of gcc-2.8.1 for DJGPP (archive gcc281s.zip)
   2) unpack g77-0.5.23.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org and copy them to 
       right place corresponding to readme in g77 archive
   3) patch 2 files in fortran sources directory (Makefile.in and make-lang.in if
       I remember correctly). You should replace 'stamp-objlist' with 's-objlist'
   4) add line
            export CONFIG_SHELL=bash
       to file djmake.sh in directory build.djg
   5) after that You can change to directory build.djg 
   6) configure sources ('./djconfig.sh' from bash)
   7) make all ('./djmake.sh all CFLAGS=-O2' from bash). I put CFLAGS here
       as perhaps You don't need debugging info
   8) install ('./djmake.sh install CFLAGS=-O2 prefix=....' from bash) and 
       enjoy. 
   
Note I'm perhaps going to upload updated gcc-2.8.1 archives for DJGPP after
some time as there are some corrections.
