Run file build.bat from directory gnu/gcc-2.951/build.djg (we cannot use 'make bootstrap' directly due to problems with Win9X DPMI server and due to absence of real symbolic links) Make sure You have all packages mentioned in readme.DJGPP. I also suggest installing beta version of DJGPP port of bash-2.0.3 as there may be problems with bash-1.14.7 (which appears not always) Andris
